You say...



You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’
But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire,
so you can become rich;

and white clothes to wear,
so you can cover your shameful nakedness
;

and salve to put on your eyes,
so you can see
.





Too much to take in?

The gold has been tested and all impurities have been taken out. Wouldn't you want true wealth?
The clothes are clean, white and without stains. Why would you prefer dirty clothes?
Who doesn't want to see clearly in the midst of all the darkness in this world?

Take up the offer!
Lady Akofa.
