Søren, the pure of heart must will one thing
And we too must be pure in heart to see
Our God, before whom we are all in need;
And if we double-minded ones all cling
To two things at the same time – everything
The world declares in lying unity,
And that which, in our hearts, we long to be
(The loving one, the child of God, das Ding
An Sich, our perfect essence, pure in Him) –
Then we must seek, with focus and with faith,
The point of pure worship, pure desire
And in our double-mindedness aspire
To will only the good, only the truth,
As, pure in heart, we will only one thing.
