Code of Ananda

These are guidelines written for the Cult of Ecstasy by Sh'zar the cult's founder. They first appear in the Tradition Book, and are a subject of much controversy, even among the Cult.

The Code of Anada

 * Thou art miraculous:So are we all.
 * He who spits on his good right hand shall find the left one fails him in need.
 * Each gold coin yeilds two like it; each stalk given creates a bundle. Yet, each coin taken turns the rest to dross, and one bundle gone creates a famine. Thus shall a Seer count his deeds.
 * Some minds rest best asleep. Stir not those who would waken otherwise.
 * Truths forseen are not always truths.
 * If a man (or a woman) would rend anothers passions, let him be as one torn by wild dogs. For passions are the seat of the Self, and if they bleed, so too does the soul.
 * Let each Seer account his own deeds and if those deeds should want for wisdom or kindness, let him be put forth to weep alone.
 * Humor cooleth blood: Wrath spillith it.
 * Even trees rent by lightning may grow new fruit.
 * A fool feels no fear; a Sleeper remains shackled by it; a Master trancends it, yet recalls its wisdom. It is good to be afraid: It is folly to bow to terror.
