Chapter 154:
Prepare for Me the Way
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. THESE ARE the matters that are the concernments of my wisdom. . . .
2. I have piped and ye have danced; I have shown you wonders and ye have marveled; I have taken you up into a new mount of transfiguration and offered for your gaze the souls of the radiant;
3. Ye have said unto me, Master, how cometh it that thou showest not thyself unto all the world, that it should believe that thou art in thy flesh and manifesting still?
4. Thus my spirit maketh answer: And why should I do it? that the world might deride me? did I not show myself unto the world and did it not slay me? what doth it benefit the world to know that one who is divine hath rulership over it, when those who are of evil receive its fond homage?
5. I tell you that the wicked must be struck with a dumbness, they must fall by their own plottings, the earth must receive them; then shall the world say, Behold there was no rulership in them, they swayed by might, they drove as a swineherd and we were their swine;
6. Now are they fallen and we see their iniquities, now come we therefore to raise our eyes higher, to see a whiter brilliance than the lure of concupiscence.
7. The world hath marveled that evil is in it, yet where are those who will lift their voices crying, Evil is among us, it is made for our serfdom, behold they are like ourselves who have wrought it, let us arise and cast them out for they work a foul bondage?
8. I tell you, beloved, unless there be those who arise and cast it out, the Prince of Glory cannot enter.
9. What profiteth the prince to make one with his swineherds? can they ever think his thoughts? do their swine's gruntings please him? is it meet that he should divest himself of raiment and wallow nakedly in mire that his presence there should cleanse it?
10. The prince is the prince. He calleth to his minions saying, Prepare for me the way, that I should walk in beauty. Am I not the prince? Do I not lead my people in that I am that which it pleaseth most of them to be?
11. I tell you, my beloved, this is not pride; it is appreciating values.
12. The wise man seeketh the learned ones ever; the prince seeketh princes that their intercourse be princely; those who are sodden are sodden from their baseness, no spoken wisdom raiseth them, they must see of their faults that evil hath no diadem.
13. Behold there are those who say, Why cometh not the Prince of Peace unto us? doth the world not wish for Him? why tarrieth He in mournings that His world will have none of Him?
14. I say it is not the world's fault that the Prince of Peace tarrieth; I say it is the fault of those who walk unrightly, they do clamor for a sustenance, they give His ears no surcease.
15. Always they demand that their coffers of increase be filled to overflowing, after that cometh peace as the Prince of Peace willeth it.
16. Is this not venomous, that it permitteth no wonders to accrue among the nations?
17. I say unto the evil man, Get thee hence, thou art an abomination unto my sight! but to the unthinking thus do I address myself,
18. And am I to wage a war in my person, that I should come among you knouting you to beauty?
19. Have it as ye will it.
20. When ye are willing to receive the bounties from a vast beneficence, then peace shall descend upon you, ye shall know it indeed, it shall rise up and endow you with witcheries of increase that ye know not of at present;
21. Thereat shall I come to take over my kingdom, thereat shall I be witnessed as a king among the princelings.
22. And yet I come soon, for the time is at hand!
23. Hear these things, beloved; keep them in your hearts!
24. I have come unto mine own, and my own have received me, but those without honor have watched for me vainly.
25. How know the swineherds of the world that the king hath visited? must he come to their hovels and beat drums upon their doorstones?
26. I say, mine own know me!
27. Keep a sweet heart, O ye world, for the number of them is vast; they go and come mightily; their ranks know a swelling.
28. Thus speak I this hour. . . .
29. Out of the loud drum beateth the praise that refuseth to be silenced, out of the clear trumpet cometh the summons that those who are to sit with me at the king's meat should have their couches of feasting prepared for them.
30. Go ye forth into the world and harvest it that your joy may be great when the Holy One arriveth and looketh to your increase. . . .
