It is in the format of a deliberate instruction given by a father to his (spiritual) son, enabling the latter, by way of right speech, to live the good life, the outcome of not interrupting the moment of the heart, offending one's vital energy (Ka). In 'The Egyptian Gentleman' (2017), a commentary on this extraordinary text is available.
