Chapter 164:
Learn of Me and Know Wisdom
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. WHEN in the course of your day ye give thought unto me, then do I draw nigh unto each one of you and hold for your thirst the cup of tranquillity.
2. I am he who hath said, Let the nations sit together in concord, let the leaders of the nations break their bread in a fellowship; let the thoughts of their hearts be as those of the righteous, who say unto righteousness, Come and sit with us.
3. I am he who hath said, Let the leaders of the righteous sit together in council, let them dwell in my presence and know that they have it;
4. That they may aspire to no unworthy thing, that beholding the godly they do make of them a priesthood that those who walk in darkness have shepherds to guide them.
5. Lest it be said of you that ye do make lip service for those whom ye ennoble, casting no good thing in action before your brethren, I give you a wisdom known unto the ancients, that ye, being wise, may perceive their past errors.
6. Lest it be said of you that ye do propound mysteries unto those who give voice to their tumults, I give you my staff as the rod of your learning.
7. Learn of me and know wisdom, that the mysteries they bewail become as reeds in a wind, that those who say unto you, Whereof have we proof that the words of your speech are not meant to confuse us? shall perceive ye have treasure and ask alms of your knowledge.
8. I tell you that I make goodly speech unto you, that ye, being wise, may give alms without ceasing.
9. Beloved, I adjure you: the ways of the righteous are hemmed in by errors, the ways of the peaceful are bounded by tumults;
10. But those who come inquiring have a splendor of intellect that availeth them richly; a peace cometh unto them that enricheth them as treasure.
11. Whenever was it said unto you that he who hath a voice should be mute in his quandaries? whenever was it told you that he who hath a puzzle should solve it in his closet?
12. I tell you, all is knowledge. Life hath a mission to perfect you in wisdom. That which ye do ask hath its answer in beauty.
13. Great deeds have been done by those who came asking, great deeds have been performed by those who had quandary, but those who said to Wisdom: Give us of thy treasure! have taken their kingdoms and achieved to rulership.
14. Whenever was it said unto you that man, being mortal, should know naught of immortality? whenever was it told you that man, being mortal, had an error in all reasonings?
15. Behold, I say unto you that I have gone before you, I have scattered your mysteries and absolved you from quandaries, I have taken your burden of ignorance from you, I have found you your thrones of lordship in learning.
16. Behold a great beast hath been loosed on the nations. Is it not meet that ye know of its stalkings?
17. Behold a great error is loosed on your species. Is it not honor to perceive of its falsehood?
18. I say unto you, great works have been done in the binding of that beast, great wonders have been met in perceiving its stalkings;
19. Greater works shall be done in that ye have knowledge to guard you from its stalkings; greater works shall be done to cast falsehood from you.
20. Thus say I this hour: In that ye have sight to behold a great truth, thus bind ye the beast and drive falsehood from you.
21. Ask yourselves not, Doth the Teacher speak a madness? ask yourselves rather, Wherein have we erred in receiving our wise men, that the wisdom they brought us hath darkened our blindness?
22. Beloved, I teach you as having understanding. A great truth awaiteth reception by the nations. Harken unto its augury and discern ye your heritage. . . .
