E LA HE DI 

WORTHY OF RECEIVING TRUE OFFERINGS FROM BOTH PEOPLE AND GODS, 

PLANTING BLESSINGS, NURTURING WISDOM, THE RESPONSE ACCORDINGLY PENETRATES. 

CAUSE AND EFFECT PERFECTED, ONE IS ACCOMPLISHED IN A MYRIAD CONDUCTS. 

THIS IS THEN CALLED BEING A GREATLY ENLIGHTENED ONE. 

COMMENTARY: 

E LA HE DI is also Sanskrit and translates as "Worthy of Offerings." Worthy of receiving true offerings from both people and gods. That refers to one who should receive the offerings of people and gods. Planting blessings, nurturing wisdom, the response accordingly penetrates. Whether you are planting blessings or developing wisdom, if you are sincere, you will get what you want; that is, the "response penetrates." 

Your wishes are fulfilled. Cause and effect perfected, one is accomplished in a myriad conducts. When you have cultivated until the causes are complete and the fruits are full, then you accomplish a myriad conducts. This is then called being a Greatly Enlightened King. Then you become a Greatly Enlightened Lord. If you don't believe it, try it out.
