The gate of the Eye, the gate of the Ear, and the gate of the Touch[74].
Renounce vanity, and be poor: renounce praise, and be humble: renounce luxury, and be chaste.
Offer unto God a pure oblation: let the fire of the altar search thee, and prove thy fortitude.
Cleanse thy sight, thine hands, and thy feet: carry the censer of thy worship into the courts of the Lord; and let thy vows be unto the Most High.
And for the magnetic man[75] there are four elements: and the covering of the four is mind, in the which are three gates;
The gate of desire, the gate of labour, and the gate of illumination.
Renounce the world, and aspire heavenward: labour not for the meat which perishes, but ask of God thy daily bread: beware of wandering doctrines, and let the Word of the Lord be thy light.
Also of the soul there are four elements: and the seat of the four is the heart, whereof likewise there are three gates;
The gate of obedience, the gate of prayer, and the gate of discernment.
Renounce thine own will, and let the law of God only be within thee: renounce doubt: pray always and faint not: be pure of heart also, and thou shalt see God.
