How the worshipper makes good his mistakes

4.17.1 God willed, and the worlds were created. After they were created, He drew forth their essences: fire from the earth, wind from the atmosphere, the sun from the sky.

4.17.2 Upon these three He set His design. From these came the knowledge that guides: from the fire, the verses; from the wind, the formulas; from the sun, the chants.

4.17.3 Upon this threefold knowledge He set His design. From it came the three worlds, earth, atmosphere, and sky.

4.17.4 So if there should come an injury in the worship, one should repent and make amends to God, who forgives. By the very mercy of God he mends the injury.

4.17.9 Therefore one should seek out as his guide one who knows this, not one who does not know this, yea, not one who does not know this.
