Chapter 78:
Stability in Faith
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. WHENCE cometh the time of these ravishings of sorcerers? Beloved, be stilled!
2. I say it is meet that ye endure in penury, for the evil man hath wealth and giveth it no surcease to mark him for his lechery.
3. Have we endured throughout many aeons, only to be cast down that the ambush hath its forfeit, even that forfeit of rigorous experiencing?
4. I tell you that I have kept you many days; I have given you assistance; I have marked on your demeanor.
5. I have said unto myself, These are mine eschewments, these my tribulations; I have entered them gladly; I have seen their beneficence!
6. Whence come these rigors but that mankind know profit? I say that I have seen; I tell you that I have heard; I have met mine own sheep perverse in the byways.
7. Have they no luxury? I say that it shall profit them to know that the times are upon them foretold of the ancients, that the gale hath no surcease till the litter be cleared from the threshing-floors of ages, till the righteous man be stilled in his cries for benedictions.
8. Ye have entered the gamut, ye have known the benedictions, ye have come into the great gale and known thereby the tempest.
9. Unhallowed precepts have born unhallowed longings; the right hath an instinct: it goeth before you and setteth a lamp.
10. I say, Persevere in those charges wherewith ye are charged; make no errors in conscience; utter no statement that rendereth not translucence; give no hostages to bickerings; keep free of defilements.
11. These are the seasons wherein great are Mammon's stalkings; have I not warned you that such would come upon you? what thought ye I reckoned in the eyes of my seasons?
12. I bid you be steadfast. I bid you know triumph. The winds of great exercisings bend you to breakings; the gale hath its clamor; there is naught to forestall it.
13. Stand ye as a rock and know my procedures; stand ye as Vikings and let the gales lash you.
14. I say it shall be better with you than with earth's weaklings; they know not where to lay their heads, in that they have forfeited that which was their increment from the rights of past ages.
15. I give you my hand that vomits eschew you; I give you my promise that tall gales pass by you; have I saved you from destruction only to destroy you or allow you to be destroyed? there would be childishness in that.
16. The mad ones come, the tall ones bend, the lee hath a harvest of the bones of the valiant.
17. So it hath been Written, to be exercised in torments.
18. I seek not my sheep among boulders of defiance to that which is sacred; I call them anon to the huddlings of prescience; I say, Know my voice, that I lead you unto sustenance, that I open to you a pasture wherein nourishment spreadeth.
19. I have given you my staff; I have handed you my distaff; I have said, There is the field: behold go and plow it!
20. These alone are my eschewments: that ye plow not to a wreckage, that the seed which ye plant hath a radiance in its blossoming, that the world hath its anchor in true principles of conscience, even that voice which persuadeth you to victories.
21. Be known, my beloved, for those who ye are! I say it shall profit you that ye give yourselves voice!
22. I have kept you for a purpose, I have drawn you as a Voice, I have put syllables upon your harps of understandngs, I have bidden that ye play them, I have given you the music.
23. Is it not time that such harmonies were rendered? wherein is true music unless it is played?
24. Arise and be valiant.
25. Know no bickerings with Mammon but offer him his choice: will he give you his endorsements or perish in his mockeries of that which fetcheth surcease to the rigors of his emptiness?
26. I tell you I have watched you: I see your fond gropings; but I bid ye hold steadfast to that which hath proclaimed you.
27. My hand is on the door latch, my foot is on the doorsill: I am come in my season to make a great merriment that the world's woes are conquered, that the energies of aeons have turned as a mill wheel, that rejoicing hath its banquet on the grist of their turnings that man hath found a truer resting place in knowledge, that his species perceiveth its right to such reposings.
28. Endure, I command you, until I come again.
29. The event hath its augury in the wailings of the famished.
30. Whom I love, I protect, though the cohorts of Caesar ride the might of earth's whirlwind. . . .
