Wisdom: If a true man takes on the qualities of God

If a true man takes on the qualities of God, all lives will bow
to him in respectful worship. He will be a father to all lives, and
doing the duties of God, he will be a son to God. For such a
man, patience is his body and sabur, or inner patience, is his heart.
