"Was anyone asking to see the soul? | Look at your shape, your appearance, people, substances, animals, trees, running rivers, rocks, sands. || All contain spiritual joys, which later emanate; | How can the real body die and be buried? || Of your true body, and of the true body of each man, of each woman, | each element will escape the hands of the gravediggers by transmigrating towards appropriate spheres, | carrying with him all that has enriched him, from the moment of birth to the hour of death. || The characters arranged by the printer do not convey the impression, the meaning, the main sense, | more than the substance and life of a man make him in body and soul, | indifferently, before death or after death. || Observe, the body includes and affirms the meaning, the main purpose, includes and affirms the soul; | whoever you are, how superb and divine is your body, or each part of it!"
