place for Görogly in people’s hearts. He galloped into their hearts on his white horse and won his place by his gallantry.

Being humble, patient, contented and merciful…. This is the true character of the Türkmens. I do not speak in vain when I say: “Come, be Türkmens!”

Shake yourself, rise, develop yourself and cast off seventy years’ filth from your body and soul and be the most perfect Türkmen in your five-thousand-year history! When Türkmens praise someone else from another nation, they say “just like a Türkmen.” We have the essence and spirit of five thousand years in our souls, blood and in the depth of our hearts.

Türkmenistan follows the way of its ancestors. If it is in your destiny, each of you will be rich with your state, but you should deserve it beforehand. The rich should be rich at heart first. To reach the Golden Age, material and spiritual wealth must be brought together.

In the character of Däli Domrul, Gorkut Ata taught the next seventy-seven generations how arrogance brought calamity to man:

 Wealth and ease make Däli Domrul vain and arrogant and he starts to challenge passers-by to wrestle with him. Looking for an excuse to challenge people, he constructed a bridge over a dried-up riverbed. He collects a toll from those who pass over the bridge. He takes thirty toll-fees from people crossing the bridge and forty from people who do not want to cross over the bridge. Of course, he collects the toll unfairly by brute force. Däli Domrul becomes world famous.
