1.
Before you can
understand
the statement
you must imagine
the fact.

Having understood,
you must
make up your mind.

What do you believe?

2.
Before you can
obey
the command
you must imagine
the act.

Having obeyed,
you must
open your heart.

What do you desire?

3.
Understanding
is not belief
just as
obedience
is not desire.

Merely understanding
the statement
is like merely obeying
the command.

You must bring
your beliefs
to bear upon
the statement.

You must bring
you desires
down upon
the command.

What do you think
of the facts?
How does the act
make you feel?

4.
Do not content yourself
with mere understanding,
with mere obedience;
demand reasons also
to believe, a passion
to desire.

Use your imagination.
Make up your mind.
Open your heart.
