In another tale, once they asked the Moon:

“You sometimes become full and polish the world with your silver light; and sometimes you are very small and one can hardly see you in your crescent form. What is the reason behind this?”

“When my husband the Sun smiles at me I will be the full Moon; I become very happy. And when he glares at me angrily, I become so small that I cannot be seen.”

 O Youth! Each of you is a Sun. If you smile at your wives they will fill the world with light just as the Moon does.

In fact, the Türkmen nation is one that knows how to be thankful to Allah, how to save, and how to maintain the traditions of their forefathers. It has no respect for digressions from the true path.

The great independence of our nation, the sovereignty and freedom of our nation, and the eager spirit of our “10-Year Development” program and the national development movement requires us to maintain and add to the value of each and every acre of our land as if maintaining pieces of gold.

Small peoples that survive by depending on a greater state lose their own traditions and get intermingled with the people of the sovereign people. But we the Türkmens have not lost our identities and we are protecting our traditions. We have great plans and we want to become a great nation. This we must be proud of.

My beloved people! If this Ruhnama inspires your souls, then you will not need to worry about your powers to sustain
