(A last will written by Lisa Kuntjoro, Surabaya, on 18 January, 2016)
I. “NINE ACTS OF BENEVOLENCE ARE ;
Being tolarable with dignity,
Being compasionate with strong determination,
Being frank with honor,
Being critical as well uphold the etiquette,
Being obedient with heroism,
Being sincere with hospitality,
Being modest with sacredness,
Being patriotic with sincerety,
Being splendid with righteousness,
Faithfully, and continuously proceed the formers,
Hereby the Heavenly Blessings.”
II. “Benevolence has no teacher,
To uphold Benevolence is the teacher,
Benevolence has no figure,
To gain it is to mingle the Heavenly God.”
III. “Deeds are judged by Heavenly God,
Man obliges to be self-controlled,
Wherefore deeds are the shadows of being self-controlled.”
IV. “HEAVENLY GOD whereas people listen and watch,
Here upon the perfect mingle of REVERED HEAVENLY GOD and dreadful people judgement,
To bring about man on earth to kneel down to pray.”
V. “To grow Benevolence, manage to reach the utmost growth;
To conquer evil, manage to crush the deepest root.”
VI. “Whom should be loved, but the king?
Whom should be respected, but the people?
Without the king, whom should the vast people uphold,
Without the vast people who would look after the country?”
VII.”Great disaster due to HEAVENLY GOD is refrained,
yet complete failure due to oneself may create inavoidable disaster.”
VIII. “Words may deliver kindness,
yet may as well delivers sorrows,
Therefore the wise would never be negligent.”
IX. “Never listen to vague words,
Never follow the vague plan,
Hereby wise man would never be misled.”
X. “All matters have the beginnings and endings,
The Wise never complains, whereas he always believes whatever effects due to causes,
This is the Law of Heaven.”
XI. “Little bird is aware to rest in a safe nest,
Little bird is aware to find true convenience,
Little bird is aware to flee from danger,
Then wise man could do any better than little bird, could he not?”
XII. “Five pairs of eyes watch, five pairs of hands point out,
Should man leave seemingly small matter undone?
Hereby sorrows may follow behind,
When a man is aware of this consequence,
Should there eventually be regrets?”
XIII. “As all leaders respect the elders,
People would follow behind,
As all leaders are modest towards subordinates,
People would follow behind,
As all leaders care lovingly to orphans,
People would follow behind…
This is the wise who leads the Angling Path,
Would it then be impossible to gain Peace in world-wide?”
XIV. “Only man with conscience knows what to like and dislike to do,
As whatever he does, due to the conscience.”
XV. “From kings to officials,
From superiors to subordinates,
From elders to youths, all have one duty,
Cherish the conscience.”
XVI. “He who’s aware of the terrible things of he likes,
He who’s aware of the noble things of he dislikes,
Whereas he who’s unaware of his terrible son,
Whereas farmer who’s unaware of his fertile rice.”
XVII. “Benevolence is the root, riches is the stem,
Neglect the root yet concern the stem,
The tree would eventually falls!”
XVIII. “Lack of conscience would accomplish nothing,
Just as thicken the natural thinness and thin the natural thickness.
It would be complete failure.”

** He who habitually behaves sagaciously,
He who faithfully learns to behave sagaciously,
And he who persistently learns to behave sagaciously,
They eventually achieve the one : Sagacity **
** He who behaves conscientiously never gives up to deeply consider and faithfully uphold Righteousness to overcome any matter **
** The Affection from HEAVEN is transformed through human conscience! To faithfully lead a life due to conscience,keeps someone on The Heavenly Path **
** He who faithfully keeps himself being noble, and he who faithfully guides others to being noble, this is the Perfect Benevolence. As it is The Heavenly Path, here upon the resolute conduct of sagacious man! **
** See the sky,
It looks simply greyish yet unlimitedly vast! Sun,moon,stars and planets and so forth, stay in harmony inside the greyish sky!
See the earth,
On one angle, it’s just a lump of darkish brown soil, yet vast and numerous. Mountains, seas and rivers are held in harmony on the darkish brown earth!
See the mountain,
On one angle, it’s just a mere rock, yet it is huge anf wide. Trees, grass, birds and animals endure happily in that huge mountain.
See the water,
On one angle, it’s just a bucket of water, yet its nature is miraculously unpredictable! Huge mamals, big gators, shoals of fish and various other living beings stay peacefully inside the unpredictable water!
This is the Greatest Affection from HEAVENLY GOD! Do we still hesitate to kneal down to praise the HEAVENLY GOD? **
** Only one he provides, learning and asking. Only one he carries out, preceiving more knowledge on miraculously Heavenly obscurity, and balancing the Affection and Righteousness through habitual conduct. He who has gained this post, is the sagacious, as what he does and breathes due to the Law of Heaven! **
** The sagacious man is secured from inconvenience,even from danger!
As superior, he keeps being humble,
As a subordinate, he keeps himself away from grieving,
As the country is in peace, his words to others are comforting,
As the country is in chaos, his silence would shield him in secure.
His perfect conscience naturally prevents the sagacious man **
** The sagacious man is never solitary!
His words and conducts never offend but counsel others;
He himself is faithfully watchful towards his words and conducts.
Therefore distant friends and neighbors would keep being his friends! **
** Would there be Benevolent Leader someday?
He listens, watches, thinks and comprehends thoroughly,
He thoroughly hospitable, humble and generous,
He’s thoroughly tough and determined, He’s thoroughly persistent and persistent and cautious!
Would there be Benevolent Leader with these qualifications someday? **
