Every human lives with hopes and desires.

I want Türkmens to live the golden life, in the golden spirit, with pride and unity.

I want you to live with the qualities of unity, cooperation, charity, and high moral values.

I have prepared Ruhnama for the Türkmen nation to be a light and a guide on its journey towards its goal.

All Türkmens, not wasting the breath bestowed by Allah, should devote their energy, effort, and capabilities to their nation and their country in order to provide our nation with a life of well-being. Then, there will be no target that cannot be reached, and no task that cannot be accomplished.

Sometimes, I wonder whether I feel too proud of my nation, or whether my eyes are dazzled by the light of the word “Türkmen,” or whether I am enchanted by the magic of the word “Türkmen.” However, so far human beings have never been damaged by affection. Nobody has ever been injured by his or her love of the nation. Be afraid of those who do not love their nation. If everybody likes their own nation, then the nations will like each other. Those who do not like their own nations cannot like other nations. The word “Türkmen,” lies in my bosom like a beloved baby warmed by the heat of my heart.

In this word can be seen the proper pride of a people who have been driving their horses on at full speed for five hundred years, as well as their natural modesty and the warmth of their hearts.
