Chapter 171:
Come and Enjoy the Wisdom
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MAKING much out of little hath wrought us a day concerned with great issues. Augurers of heaven have attained to proclamation but those who walk in darkness give no heed to their significance.
2. Behold I say again, happy is the man who cometh out of turmoil bearing in his hands a Book and a Lamp.
3. He shall be as the prophet who seeth a vision, who entereth himself into a goodly lord's privacy, who communeth in secret with him who hath wisdom.
4. I tell you that Father and Son have proclaimed a new heritage for those who do say: There is truth in these omens!
5. I have called you to a vision, I have asked you to a feast, I have shown you the beauties of ramparts celestial, I have bidden you to make merry at the quaffing-bowl of wisdom.
6. Goodly truths have spun their patterns, goodly deeds have wrought their valors, goodly princes keep the compact, goodly statements hold no mockeries.
7. Have I not told you that the things of the Spirit have their substance in endurance? By these words do ye perceive it. I tell you I have given you ennoblement courageous, bespeaking your valors to do errands to the thoughtless.
8. By their deeds ye shall know of the ones who do manifest, by your hearts ye shall trust them, by their acts shall they guide you.
9. I bespeak you no wrong, I perform you no mischiefs; I say, Come ye and enjoy the sunlight of wisdom; come out and make sport whilst a noonday sun warmeth.
10. Make ye for yourselves a heritage in valor that escheweth all reasonings not prompted by your knowledge.
11. When the goodly days shall come, then shall men have wisdom not known unto the ancients. I tell you they come soon; lo, the time draweth nigh when men shall make music unto those who do prosper them, yea with the riches of eternal revelations.
12. What profiteth a man if he saith to his namesakes: Lo, we have provisions to last through the night? What think ye of provisions whose substance can be squandered? Are they not less than the waters of the oceans?
13. I tell you I make mock of those who exult, We are heavy with provisions!
14. I say they are naked, and famished of belly.
15. Long, long have I taught that man shall be ennobled; long, long have I preached that the Kingdom is of radiance; long, long have I told men to beguile not the tempter with words from their mouths having substance in circumstance.
16. Have I not told them also to seek out the Kingdom and make merry in it, to search out the holy ones and make with them a fellowship?
17. I have talked of their heritage, I have given them vision, I have opened my storehouse though despoilers have entered it.
18. Great, great is the tumult when they find themselves in it. Having heard of the blessings, they do seek for them greedily. Having heard of the promises, they grope for them frenziedly.
19. My beloved, I adjure you: the tempter hath been vigilant; the holy ones have mocked him; he derideth unto vengeance.
20. Small, small are his concepts; vast, vast are his accomplishments.
21. What manner of man among you, having once known of good, would seek to do evil? What then of the foolish ones, making their mischiefs? are they not children seeking to profit, greedily clutching at prizes, and thwarted?
22. Hosanna! they cry. But they make no hosannas, except they be circumstance molded by riot.
23. Beloved, hear me say it: We come to know restraint, we come to know perfection, we open the fountains of beauteous godhood to offer their drink to those who thirst greatly.
24. Many who sorrow shall come, my beloved; those who do thirst shall find peace in the waters.
25. Wherefore was it said that man shall acclaim the Abiding-Place Eternal; even unto the Godhead shall he render anthems.
26. We come to know peace, and mock our defilers; we come to know joy, and lift up our banners; we make a great message, and preach it unto Mammon.
27. Ye have grasped for the Lamp. Ye have not chosen wrongly. Ye light it with zeal and know its bright blessing.
28. Wherefore was it said that a man shall leave his friends and cleave unto the doctrine? Wherefore was it said that man shall abide within the residence of Spirit?
29. All things are added unto those who do good.
30. I have said, Follow ye my pathway, depart ye not from it; take ye up my brevet, be constant in serving it; make your decidings and compel them to serve you.
31. What profiteth a man if he hath not attainments, if his voice hath not edge to tell his blessings beauteously?
32. I say unto my beloved, Behold we ask not anything of life except knowledge of who shall be for us and who shall be against us. We take up our weapons and make havoc of circumstance. Thus do we progress according to our vision.
33. Ever was it told you that man hath his abiding-place. I say unto you, beloved, such desiring hath reversal. The anointments of knavery have sprinkled the cohorts, making them to march to the pulses of their blindness.
34. The abiding-place chooseth the one who would serve it.
35. What have we to say that is still left unsaid?
36. We open the door and the Spirit stalketh in. We open the treasure chest and the heart hath tranquillity.
37. I keep you, beloved, in judgment unto judgment. I save you from alarms. I encompass you with peace. I seek to go alone that others may follow devoid of the danger.
38. Hear ye my words: I speak them in wisdom that ye may be prophets. . . .
