Extensively distributed, it is scattered all over the earth in confusion.
On par with this, the things that were true

[One should] not to villify or undermine this,
for the [entire] Earth is overturned and emptied out.
One should instead give respect [to those] who are all
carrying such business of a Spiritual Nature.
