Advices from Sayat-Nova

Listen to God’s voice and do good ever,

In the lives of the saints the word is silver!

There are  three goals of the saints: love the pen,

Love writing, love book  - you’ll be happy then.

Heart, let sorrows not oppress your mold!

Know that people honor bread and salt!

But don't be ridiculous, love your work,

Love wisdom, love truth and bread hunk.

So Sayat-Nova wisdom tells us to live by items.

What is this life to us? The Last Judgment threatens!

Save your eternal soul: love the hermitage,

Love the cell, love the stones! Keep your pledge!
