Chapter 103:
Think No Evil of Circumstance
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. HAPPY is the man who hath no mate but Charity!
2. Cometh such a man to the end of his days and behold he saith, I have toiled and been rewarded; I have gardened and had increase!
3. Happy is the man who hath made his bed with Charity.
4. Vines hath he planted whose growth is prodigious; cometh such a man to the end of his days and behold he saith, The Master hath shown me the nature of my recompense.
5. My beloved, hear my voice; thus do I instruct you:
6. Faults have ye found with one another. I say, share them not, neither give yourselves surcease from long- suffering,
7. For I am he who hath said, Except ye love with a love that is great, ye cannot inherit the Gift Beyond Price.
8. I bid ye to take a sign: Let us be more circumspect in unity lest that which appeareth hath an aspect of a dragon breathing fire from his nostrils and coals from his throat.
9. Ye have heard it said that I come unto you; oft have I said it;
10. Doubt it not, beloved, for in that ye doubt it, ye do bid me stay away.
11. I keep with you the Promise made in the beginning: that which is seemly cometh to pass.
12. Lest ye doubt it, mark well of circumstance, give ear to the voice that addresseth in beauty.
13. Whence come such parable? . . . think ye that Mammon offereth an increase? what would ye of me that I tell you not truly?
14. Am I not overjoyed that there are those who hold memory of my sojourn?
15. Truly am I joyed that time hath wrought no changes in their hearts, that all is mine heritage from those moments when we communed as earthly benefactors of the race.
16. Bear ye my greeting to the race again, beloved.
17. All is of instruction, I keep nothing from you, trusting you as my beloved who have proved your devotion.
18. Harken unto mine appeal in present earthly substance: Ye are not as those who go about and say, We have knowledge of Him in that we remember Him concretely;
19. Verily are they hucksters of misrepresentations: knowledge of me is kept secret by my choice.
20. Not that I would hold myself aloof from these but that I may say unto my beloved, Cherish our friendship as a bridegroom doth cherish his beloved, not for the common gaze, not for the eyes that see with lust or envy.
21. Sweet, sweet is the memory of our hours together when we did consult with one another that the world should be ennobled and receive a goodly gift.
22. I teach you again, beloved, even as I did teach you in those days long ago, making you wise as serpents are wise, making you harmless as doves that wing softly.
23. All is of instruction, I say again, to those who walk uprightly in their hearts.
24. Verily have we ministered to those who were afflicted in spiritual faith, in the essence wherewith their spirits needed balsam; speak I anew presently to all with my lips, telling of truths that come in worldly circumstance as a fountain of pure water, cool in the noon-heat.
25. I tell you of truths that make for your heads a resting place upon the bosom of the infinite; I tell you of truths to come as a blessing to your hearts, redeeming your sacrifice in flesh.
26. Harken, harken, my beloved!
27. Short, short is the time; great, great is the labor; soon do we meet in a common understanding; soon do we send forth doves, that the world may be carried Peace in the whiteness of their wings.
28. I bid that ye be of good cheer: earthly circumstance doth perplex you sorely; minions of mighty ones now work against you, even as they work against my loving mercy.
29. Bear no malice. Think them no evil. Do unto them that which ye wouldst do to the whitest sons of Light visiting you as guests in an honored household.
30. Let the words of your hearts and the meditations of your thoughts bring peace unto their tortured spirits likewise, for such is our mission.
31. What have we to do with those who need us not?
32. Verily the shepherd goeth before the sheep, that the wolves may know his voice, that he protecteth those he leadeth; but even the wolves have need of a shepherd, in that they are wolves.
33. I say, Be of good cheer, think no evil of circumstance, proceed with a calmness, gather up that which is profitable unto your spirits and share with those whose spirits stumble nakedly.
34. I say unto you that oft hath circumstance its roots in necessity.
35. Lo, there come those unto you who shall say, Lead us that we may also know the Light;
36. I say it shall behoove you to take stock of yourselves and be ready to receive them, for they enrich you as ye do receive them.
37. The times make opportunity for that service, not as mendicants seeking alms but as proud lords accepting their tribute in that they are lords and supply a protection.
38. Peace be unto you! I tell you much that perplexeth you as ye do ask it, even of mine own experience if it be requisite.
39. Thunders shall alarm you but I say they shall not harm you; lightnings shall play about you, but I say they shall not strike you; storms shall beat about you, but I say they shall have no power to bear you away. . . .
