'You, the human race are the best of my creations
you will live and live,
And give and give till you are united,
In happiness and pain!
My bliss will be born in you,
Love is a continuum.
That is the mission of humanity,
You will see everyday in the Life Tree.
You learn and learn ,
My best of creations.'
