Chapter 32:
I Answer in Your Silence
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. CAN YE not accept that that which cometh to you, cometh of
my presence? I am the cause of that which happeneth to you,
I give you the mission; I say, This is meet, or, That is ennobling,
and behold ye have experiencings: take them, my beloved,
know that they enfold you.
2. Think ye that event hath hounded you, not of your making?
how know ye it holdeth evil? is evil not ignorance? if experience
holdeth wisdom, whereof can it be evil?
3 I say I have a method always for deliverance. Can ye not
trust me who hath brought you to the moment?
4 Speak well to those who heckle you, speak beautifully to
those who mock you, verily they mock you because of their
ignorance, they go up and come down because they fear your
utterings;
5 Shouldst ye be fearful of those whose fear of you is
greater?
6 I say, Be of sense.
7 Take note of my voice in places and seasons when ye find
yourselves perplexed: say, Master, dost thou will it? seek me
out in solitude and I answer in your silence.
8 Wait for mine answer: the fond heart doth utter it.
9 Ye bidst me rise before you: have I not risen on a thousand
nights and ye took me for your worryings? Have I not answered
your heartcries in a thousand silences when ye cried, It is
conscience, I have erred and do rue it. How say ye, it is
conscience?
10 The might of the Lamp is your guidance unto probity. How
say ye it is conscience unless my Spirit visit you?
11 Men do pray in their closets seeking surcease from their
worryings: is it not meet that they should seek surcease?
Whence cometh the weariness that maketh them to supplicate?
12 I tell you I have visited them, I have spoken to them privily,
I have stood up in my stature, I have visited them in person:
know that I come a thousand times to respond to their
appealings.
13 I say it is beauteous that they should so entreat me, yet
I say unto you more: I say the greater beauty hath it that man
should know twilight in the realm of his emotions, that he should
be quiet when my Spirit seeketh utterance.
14 For I seek to address him in that afterglow from tumult;
I would give him my blessings to becalm his tossed grievance.
15 How cometh he to say, There is none to hear my
renderings?
16 Beloved, beloved! How oft would I have stilled you with the
sweet peace of my language, yet ye went afar from me at
expecting no responsings.
17 Would ye ask of an earthly one, my beloved, and turn from
his countenance before he could address you?
18 Harken for my language! In your hearts do I speak it.
19 Pray ye in this wise: Dear Lord, come unto me! Give me
your counselings. Hear my reproofs at circumstance that they
have delayed me in attaining to thy splendors. Point me the true
pathways, that I may take note of them. These are my
beseechments. Fain would I greet thee upon a silent highroad,
to turn aside in a quiet pasture and speak with thee of
majesties. Make simple for mine understanding the
evincements of thy presence.
20 These things speak, beloved, and let mine own promptings
complete the sweet intercourse.
21 For I have waited many days to make known to you my
utterance.
22 I come in a thousand forms, speaking unto your
intelligence: cometh a poem to you, moving you to grandeur?
I declare in its poesy. Cometh a thunder-roll, washing earth
with fragrance? am I not its essence? Cometh a friend,
telling you of tumults? am I not in your reasonings, healing his
torn spirit?
23 I say, Be still and hear me.
24 I am your Nobler Self, bidding you to ecstasies.
25 I say, Be still and hear me.
26 I am the grandeur of that silence wherein a man saith unto
himself, Mayhap if I be quiet, the still small voice will endow my
understanding.
27 I say, Be still and hear me.
28 For thus is it written: That I shall come in a thousand
forms and rainbows but in only one speech that delighteth the
intellect.
29 Beloved, I go before you opening many gates: trust me
that I open the Last Gate of All.
30 In the Father's name we conquer.
31 Thus do I salute you as brethren. . . . .Do the brethren
lack tongue?
