Ott megáll, el sem csúszik, le sem esik. Ugyanígy kell értelmednek áradni és szétömleni: de nem kiapadni, hanem folyton sugárzani - a szembenálló akadályokra nem erőszakosan vagy szenvedélyesen ráfeszülni, nem esni le, hanem ott maradni, és azt, ami a fénye számára hozzáférhető, megvilágítani. Ami pedig visszautasítja, az maga magát fosztja meg a fénytől.

For by attending to this thou wilt quickly forget thy anger, if this consideration is also added, that the man is compelled; for what else could he do? or, if thou art able, take away from him the compulsion.

Ὄρθρου, ὅταν δυσόκνως ἐξεγείρῃ, πρόχειρον ἔστω ὅτι ἐπὶ ἀνθρώπου ἔργον ἐγείρομαι· ἔτι οὖν δυσκολαίνω, εἰ πορεύομαι ἐπὶ τὸ ποιεῖν ὧν ἕνεκεν γέγονα καὶ ὧν χάριν προῆγμαι εἰς τὸν κόσμον; ἢ ἐπὶ τοῦτο κατεσκεύασμαι, ἵνα κατακείμενος ἐν στρωματίοις ἐμαυτὸν θάλπω;
