Chapter 22:
Patience
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. I HAVE talked and ye have listened; I have given you my
substance, ye have given me your intellects; I say it shall be
well with you, in that ye have harkened.
2. When cometh a great voice, beloved, do the wise ones
close their listenings? I tell you a Greater Voice shall come and
ye shall hear its thunderings.
3. I perceive a weak willow tree, that it bendeth in the
sunshine: the sunlight glisteneth on it: all its boughs are
radiance.
4. Is it not true that it came of the Father? doth the night hold
a cry that bestreweth a terror? hath the willow tree terror? are
ye not greater than many willow trees, bending in the light of a
mightier radiance?
5. These are my preachments, these my benefactions:
6. Ye do walk a far journey; verily are ye husbandmen
garnering in the hedgerows; ye do sow a mighty field and
harvest it, yet are ye wanderers moving up the aeons.
7. My beloved, grasp the vista! know the highroad that
ye travel! behold from many summits what a travel lieth
rearward!
8. The ox, and the corn, and the linnet, and the bowstring,
these are no more wonders than the patience that ye manifest;
the ox ploweth, the corn matureth, the linnet singeth, the
bowstring maketh melody; verily doth patience contain them in
its witchery.
9. Patience cometh sweetly, it raiseth an anthem, it maketh a
melody, it bestoweth a birthright, what mattereth it if little
corners hold little shadows? Patience goeth on, it perceiveth
the highroad.
10. These are my beseechments, that ye love one another,
that ye labor as the ox, that ye ripen as the corn, that ye sing as
the linnet, that ye play a great melody even as the bowstring.
11. My heart is with you, singing, as from the beginning.
12. These are our bestowments: that we love one another, that
we go up a broad highroad, that we reap a ripe harvest, that we
know great pleasure that patience hath its orderings.
13. Do I make you a concernment? doth patience have its
usuries? I tell you, beloved, it is not for decipherings wherein
patience hath ordainments.
14. Behold the beloved await to do us ministerings: some are
delayed: some arrive out of season: patience lifteth its voice
and singeth. We wait for the brethren all to be orderly; that is
our mission, to bring many souls to the pattern of a Destiny.
15. Patience goeth not out to play pranks with the deceitful;
it arriveth at no orderings that bow down the spirit; it seeketh
no entrances into plaguing of riches; it maketh no tumults that
upset benefactions;
16. Nay, long-suffering hath no vomit, it hath only sweet
incense: it moveth mighty mountains yet singeth to a sunset;
17. It accepteth the spirit that is sluggish in its beasthood;
it maketh it a viol to give forth a deep resonance.
18. Hear my words, beloved: I talk in many speakings.
19. Are there those who listen and know not the mysteries?
are there those who say, There is mischief in our concepts?
20. Eschew them not, beloved: let them come in unto you: let
them hear your soft speech: let them know your deft
reasonings.
21. I say we have a mantle to cast over the worlds; we are
magicians in transit, we wave a fair wand and far races are
ennobled; we give the wand a flourishing and sweet waters
gush up; the thirsty drink their fill of them.
22. Mayhap we tread rearward and find those with a timidness,
all do not crowd on the fountain in a moment.
23. What mattereth it, beloved? we find them and persuade
them, we tell them its benefits, we encourage them to trust us.
24. Give unto every man according as he thirsteth, give to
every woman according as she drinketh. . . .
25. And now I depart from you, leaving you my blessing.
26. Do the labors of the week engage you? I beseech you, do
them nobly: lift up your voices: let your lips devise harmony.
27. I bid you not to dwell on the vauntings of a blackness:
presently it fleeth: a sweet mirth cometh in.
28. Be ready to laugh, thy beloved, I beseech you! I am he
who hath answered in the silence of your musings, I am he who
hath loved you when all others turned against you, I am he
who awaiteth you as your hands grope to find me.
29. Presently we come again for new counselings together.
30. My peace whilst ye tread the byways of absence! That
absence is but silence as those byways take our energies…..
