The
never ending spiritual source for a true Türkmen, who continously
ponders on his spiritual world, who really worries about his well-being,
who is self-conscoius, alert and careful about enhancing his
intellectual, physical and spiritual capacites, should be the Ruhnama,
which never lets his exuburant, sensitive, poetic and sublime heart, and
longing-for spirit, deeply felt enthusiasm and inner feelings,
extinguish.

Allah
the Almighty created us as humans, we came into this world as humans,
and it is our duty to make of our people a noble and trustworthy people,
to establish an era of well-being and found a good society.

Our
development as a nation in the golden age gives rise to the maturing of
the characteristics in the golden personality. With the development of
the nation, the personality develops too. The most important
characteristic of the personality is excellence. The physical and
spiritual excellence of the Türkmen personality is a measure of our
development. we have done everything necessary bring the personality to
a state of excellence.
(201)
Personality
is the essence of the nation. The origin and essence of both is the
same. Therefore, each individual must strive to ensure that his moral
and spiritual level is the same as that of the nation. For the
individual, there is nothing more important and more valuable than the
nation. The heart of every individual Türkmen must be united with their
nation and never part from it. In the golden age, Türkmenistan needs
people whose hearts and minds are one with the nation. The motherland
and nation must be on everybodys tongue and must be the motive in all
their doings.
(201)
In
order to do this every individual must be taught the concept of the
nation and Türkmen nationality. Hence, each individual must be made
aware of the glorious route of the history of the Türkmen nation and of
all its phases. The Türkmens, whose moral realm was a vacuum, whose
links with their ancestors were severed, whose origin was forgotten
during the Soviet era should acquire national values once again.
(203)
Türkmen
is the friend and brother of another Türkmen. This idea must be the
most sacred idea of Türkmens. Within the golden personality of Türkmens,
national feelings and values must be to the fore and other ideas, such
as tribalism and racism must be eradicated in the golden era.
(204)
Nations
are forever, but tribes are temporary. Nationality carries a society
towards eternity, while societies based on tribalism are short-lived.
Every member of the Türkmen nation must accept this principle. Life
depends on our understanding life and reality. The more we understand
our being of Türkmen nationality, the stronger our nationality becomes.
In the 21st century, the Türkmen nation gains its strength
from the model of personality it puts forward.
(204)
In
the Golden Era, we must be stable and constant individuals like our
ancestors. We must be constant, stable, serious, noble, and modest. We
must be so because these qualities are vital to the development of
spiritual loftiness and affluence.
(206)
Intelligence,
feeling, character and good morals are the elements that contribute to
the excellence of the individual Türkmen personality in the Golden Era.
The golden qualities of the Türkmen personality, in the 21st
century are the attributes which attract the hearts of onlookers.
(208)
We
have established the nation state so that it may help the Türkmen
people. The Türkmen country, the Türkmen nation, the Türkmen state
guarantee the welfare of every Türkmen.
On
the other hand, spiritual loftiness cannot be determined by looking only
at outer appearance. For this reason, our inner world is also very
important, even more important than the outer one. So, the personality
should discover itself and should understand its significance. Humility
is the basis of spiritual loftiness. Patience and conviction are the
brothers of humility.
