Chapter 122:
These Three Are the Secret
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. ARISE, my beloved! I bid that ye sing! I bid that ye make anthems unto the Father! I bid that ye take thought unto your greatness of stature! . . . behold the day cometh when men shall say unto you: Lo, let the miracle shower upon us; lo, let its dwelling-place be in our hearts!
2. Come I tomorrow with truth making manifest; come I inquiring, come I imploring, come I with richness, come I with mercy, come I with speech making understanding for those who walk in darkness.
3. Beloved, hear my voice: The world is an open book in which is recorded the doings of the righteous; the world is a sieve making demarcation of the faults of the uncircumspect; the world is a treasure-house holding in its depths the plumbings of the ages.
4. I say unto you, be peaceful. I say unto you, be calm. I say unto you, be merciful. I say unto you, be just.
5. I tell you of mysteries; I speak unto you of favors; I give knowledge unto you that ye may be clean of the mark of the beast that hasteneth to destruction.
6. Ye have heard it said that men shall revile you and persecute you for my sake; be exceeding glad, for those who persecute you know not the mark of the Father upon you; they but make abominations unto themselves, being unclean of spirit.
7. The world hath a way, a light, and a treasure; these are for your guidance, my greatly beloved; they are beacons for your footsteps set by the Father.
8. It seeketh to destroy you; it maketh a mischief; it rendeth you with grievousness; it maketh much mischief to appear in your pathways.
9. In these things be circumspect; in these things show honor.
10. Answer him who asketh of you and to him who would have of you, make no false speech; give him your measure filled to its brim.
11. Hasten to give to all those who hunger; give to them richly that ye may be rewarded; hasten not to deploy unto those who have no need of you; they too have their reward.
12. Answer ye my promises made unto the Holy Ones: give richly of circumstance, give sparsely of conceits, give unto him who asketh of you and turn no ear to the perishing when so be it they perish out of their own substance.
13. Ye have heard it said that I do forsake mine own, that I treat them not kindly, that I leave them to hunger; verily have ye heard it.
14. I say unto you, my brethren, there is no substance in it; we treat with the children of men even as they have asked of us, being servants to their pleasure so long as it is righteous.
15. I comfort you in circumstance; I say unto you, be noble; I give you my mission, to glorify the Host. . . .
16. Whenever was it said that man had no mission knowing the unknowable? did I not know it, and was I not a man?
17. Whenever was it said that man should treat with himself as with an infant? Have infants no knowledge? Do they not suck?
18. Whenever was it said that those who come unto you find no pleasure in serving you? Lo, they have pleasure beyond earthly comparison; yea do they manifest each unto the other, no matter if there cometh between them a veil.
19. Whereof was it said that I am not one with you? Verily, verily, there cometh a mischief.
20. Whereof was it said that we are not brethren? Have we not known hunger greater than all the instructors of the universe? Did not the Host come supplying such hunger, yea with the food of imperishable knowledge?
21. I have taught and ye have listened; I have given you promises, ye have taken of fulfillment; now I speak with my voice and to heed it is your destiny. . . .
22. One cometh unto you who maketh you music, verily he singeth with a voice of rare melody;
23. One cometh unto you who maketh an anthem, yea doth he raise it unto the aeons;
24. What cometh he singing? what cometh he raising? . . . behold he answereth the cry of human hearts who are seeking understanding, he answereth the mysteries not yet of their perception.
25. Hear my words, beloved. I teach you with music, I teach you with spell, I teach you with triumph, I teach you with disaster; all things are your portion, all speech is your profit.
26. I give you the substance, I show you the way, I make you to know dwelling-places of light without cessation, I make you to know sorrow, I make you to grieve.
27. Whereof are these lessons? . . . verily of omnipotence born of my heart!
28. Seek, seek! find, find! perceive and triumph! struggle and know penury! richer and richer shall be your ennoblements; vaster and vaster shall be your understandings.
29. What profiteth a man to give a world wisdom and know not his own heart? what profiteth a sister who knoweth all womanhood yet give no child suck?
30. Grosser and grosser grow the avenues of knowledge; littered are they with the wastages of intellect; grander and grander grow the highroads unto hope; sprinkled are they by the fountains of pure knowledge.
31. We merit no cause for dissatisfactions; we merit no cause for the inklings of error that blot the white pages of intricate instruction; we do knowledge unto knowledge; we do mastery unto mastery.
32. Seek ye the ways of those who have advanced you; study the plans of those who have decreed you.
33. All thought is transient, but power is divine. How grow ye in stature except by your knowledge? how grow ye in knowledge except by your pain? how grow ye in pain except by your endurance?
34. These three are the secret; see that ye heed it.
35. Over and over I have come unto you as each order changeth; oft have I said, Make music to each other!
36. Have I not desired that such should be your conduct? who think ye is speaking? except as ye hear, there shall come unto you no fellowship.
37. I sojourn with you shortly, I bring you my presence; I come not as a robber of the night, but as one who would make you a stealthy visitation.
38. Take heed, take heart: purposes are scornful, righteousness is tedious, tumults arise within you, what matter all these hazards? . . . there is wisdom to sustain you.
39. Lo, the heart hath council chambers where the righteous meet for sufferance. Bear ye, bear ye, seven times seven!
40. Say no more unto one another, Let us end this mad endurance! Even as ye say it, ye do make yourselves to suffer;
41. I have given you my promise; I have left with you my heart. Is there a price that ye do set upon it?
42. This is the watchword: Comfort the saddened, be mute before your destinies!
43. The Preacher saith truly, Concordance is the shibboleth. The adversary saith, Bow down for benediction, ye who have knowledge each of intolerance.
44. Have I not ministered unto you? Will ye not minister even as I?
45. Hosanna! Hosanna!
46. Treat with those who need you. Take not from those who rend you. Doubt not your perceivings. Give of your inheritance. Thus it shall be well with you and the sign be on your foreheads.
47. Liberty of conscience maketh no mischiefs but blindness of concept linketh one to evil; perceivings and judgments enhance the understanding, but liberty of conscience proclaimeth to salvation.
48. Succor those who need you, rend not those who love you; take merit in your substance ere your waitings know defilements. . . .
