XXVI.
In the name of the great life,
be glorified the noble light.


You came from the house of life,
you came, what did you bring us?
I brought you so that you would not die
and your soul would not be hindered.
For the day of death I brought you life,
for the dull day joy.
I brought you gentleness,
where the tumult of the nations is not.
This, this you brought, good one;
what did you bring to the true man?
I made him my treasurer
and appointed him over all that I have.
Sayings of the Kuštā I gave him,
by which he comes in and goes out,
like a man who has achieved his will.
You have sought and found, my chosen ones,
again you will seek and find.
You have sought and found, my chosen ones,
as the former ones sought.


And life is victorious.
