Translated Text:

O Wise One, at the beginning,
You, through Your mind,
fashioned for us the living world,
conceptions and intellects,
put life in the physical frame,
and gave deeds and words,
so that one makes his choice through free will.

Commentary:

At the beginning, the Wise One made, through his mental faculty, our world, He granted us conception and intellect as He put life into our bodies. He also gave us the ability to talk and act—all to grant freedom of choice to us.

Pondering Point:

“Life, body, mind, speech, and action are gifts from Lord Wisdom We are also granted the freedom of choice to put these gifts into right use.”
