The Attributes

A (wo)man of G-d knows but makes no show, has self-respect but is not arrogant. A (wo)man of G-d lets go of that and chooses this. A (wo)man of G-d sees without looking; works without doing. A (wo) man of G-d, traveling all day, does not lose sight of their baggage. Though there are beautiful things to be seen, a (wo)man of G-d remains unattached and calm. A (wo)man of G-d is sharp but not cutting, pointed but not piercing, Straight forward but not un-restrained, brilliant but not blinding. A (wo)man of G-d always confronts difficulties, never experiences them. A (wo)man of G-d never tries to store things up. The more the (wo)man of G-d does for others, the more the (wo)man of G-d has. The more the (wo)man of G-d gives to others, the greater their abundance. The (wo)man of G-d takes care of all and abandons no one. The (wo)man of G-d takes care of all things and abandons nothing. This is called " following the light." If the (wo)man of G-d would guide the people, (s)he is to serve with humility. If the (wo)man of G-d would lead them, (s) he must follow behind. In this way when the (wo)man of G-d rules, the people will not feel oppressed; The (wo)man of G-d who stands before them, will not be harmed. The whole world will support the (wo)man of G-d and will not tire of them. Because they do not compete, the (wo)man of G-d does not meet competition. And evil will have no power. Not that evil is not powerful, but its power will not be used to harm others, the (wo)man of G-d will be protected. They do not hurt each other, and the virtue in each one refreshes both.
