Chapter 107:
Make Inquiries of Thy Conscience
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MY BRETHREN, I would not have you ignorant of that which transpireth for your profit, and yet I say, the times and the seasons mature with a rushing: many are called into the fray of conscience, many fall in their armor, a handful know the victory.
2. There are those who know no victory, neither care that it bestow itself, being sodden of perception: I say that ye are not of these, and yet I say, Watch!
3. It behooveth no man to say unto his neighbor, I am the watcher, thou art the dullard and thy slothfulness is pestilence;
4. It behooveth every man to draw behind the curtains of his closet and ask himself privily, Have I reached mine accordance with the voice of my desirings that the earth may know its purging, and the sons of eyil perish?
5. It behooveth the pure in heart to make inquiries of their conscience: Is the Son of Man pleased with me that I have seen my brevet? have I languished in a stupor while others rode afar mounted on white chargers? have I given the voice of conscience its anthem that I might sing nobly of that which hath been hidden?
6. Beloved, beloved! . . . The world groaneth, mankind wracketh, . the races shout lustily, many run to and fro declaring their perception that a new order cometh.
7. But ever do they perceive it after the order of their desirings, that their enemies be felled and a bitter fate await them.
8. Where is the man who standeth in his righteousness and saith: I await mine instruction, but whilst I wait, I labor: I give alms to the needy, I give balm to those who suffer, I rebuke with a vigor the one who would lord it over the humble, I raise mine indignation and strike a clean blow when he who is beastly tormenteth the fallen.
9. I say unto you, such a one is the watcher.
10. He keepeth his lamps burning brightly by loving service; he suffereth no untoward increment to disrupt the cleanness of his treasure.
11. Why tarry ye for your little moment in eternity if it be not for service? think ye that the Host provideth you music that your ears may be pleased, or that the mighty ones read their findings of logic that your conceits may stalk proudly?
12. I tell you the foul man taketh treasure and giveth in return no recompense; he who hath a quarrel with eternity descendeth into vileness that his soul may know luxury.
13. The godly are not so: they give a fond remembrance to that which hath inspired them, yet do they say truthfully, It behooveth us to recognize that mankind hath its error; we are the purgers who come spreading incense where pestilence hath stalked;
14. We give strong embrace to the cohorts of justice; we open our hearts to the goodly intent and perceive when the righteous would call us into phalanx;
15. We do not share, we give; we do not take, we cherish; we do not offer the broken bow and say, We have no need of it in that it is broken; we stand up manfully and say the battle
is ours, we recognize our brevets, we are the Called and we answer with a proudness; we are the cohorts called up of old, that the Bright One should lead us and the earthly ones know mercy.
16. So say I, beloved, and my heart is your treasure.
17. I proceed apart from you a little pace. But is it meet that ye shouldst think me gone? Verily ye know not the care and the vigilance that hath brought you to your office.
18. Abide with me a little time and rest: the hour hath its moment, time hath her treasure, those who would wear the whitest of garments know of the toil that effecteth the brilliance.
