and princes, but instead we must first beg for the merciful permission to ask for something that
we would like!”
12. I interrupt, “Friend that is not needed here at all! This is certainly a custom in Persia,
but it shall always be far from us! Before God, My friend, a foolishly demeaning humility of
the human soul is as much craziness as any other which occurs in paganism – all the more so a
too great humility of a person before simply another person. Such a too bootlicking expression
of humility of a person before another person only makes them both worse; the former, because
he only feigns such humility and thereby pulls his neighbor to even greater arrogance, and the
latter because he thereby really becomes more arrogant!
13. That humility which comes from pure love is a correct and true humility; for it ob-
serves and loves in its neighbor a brother as a brother, but makes neither itself nor the neighbor
into a god, before whom one should fall on ones knees and worship.
14. Whatever you want or would like, demand it as a person from a person and as brother
from your brother; but no person should crawl in the dust before another!
15. What God never demands from a person, all the less should a person demand it from
his fellow man! That is also a correct wisdom in the fullest order of God; therefore observe it
and act accordingly, and you will be pleasing before God and before man!
16. But now about something else again! So that you can understand the gentle breeze
before the prophet‟s cave a little deeper as corresponding with this time, I will now give you
another question, since you are still in a manner of speaking solid Jews.”
