1st MASTER OF CEREMONIES: We, who through many earthly lives Feel connected to this dear man, Who, from the fountain of his wisdom, Wanted to guide your thinking, We know that it is not human words alone That guide his tongue, but rather Inspiration from higher spiritual realms, Which he has to reveal in a solemn manner. Therefore, everyone should praise as good fortune Those who hear him and vigorously Follow his instructions.
