The medicine for contentment is not prepared by natural
things, and yet the natural remedy and comfort arises from it.

There is a drug of one dram of weight ; it should be mixed heartily and be known spiritually:

“Contentment”, one dāng of weight;

“If I do not do this, what (else) shall I do”, one dāng of weight;

“It may be better from today till tomorrow”, one dāng of weight;

“Perhaps it could be worse than this (the present one)”, one dāng of weight;

“Being content with this that has happened, I shall be more at ease”, one dāng of weight;

“And if I am not content [with what has come to me], the
issue indeed would not be better, and I shall be even more
uneasy”, one dāng of weight.

One should put these drugs in the mortar of patience, and
pound them with the pestle of prayer, and sift them with a silken
sieve of resignation.

Everyday very early in the morning, one should put two spoonfuls to the mouth with the spoon of “trust to the Yazata”, and also drink the water of “it can be done” thereafter. Then one becomes content without any doubt, because it is much more beneficial to both the body and the soul.
