1 He in whose house the devotee who possesses this knowledge abides one night secures for himself thereby the holy realms that are on earth. 2 A second night secures the holy realms that are in the firmament (the rest as in verse 1). 3 A third night, the holy realms that are in heaven. 4 A fourth night, the holy realms of the blessed. 5 Unlimited nights, unlimited holy realms. 6 Now he to whose house one who calls himself a devotee, and is one in name only, comes as a guest, 7 should correct him gently and not punish him. 8 He should serve him with food, saying to himself, To this guest I offer water; I lodge this guest; I wait upon this guest. 9 To God the hospitality of him who has this knowledge is acceptable.
