Chapter 181:
Wait for Mine Appearance
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. WE HAVE come to a place where the way hath a darkness. Do I not know it? Yet have ye not perceived that this darkness hath its purpose? Is it not true that night hath darkness only in that the sunlight hath sought other regions? Hath darkness any essence? Is it not lack of light?
2. I tell you that men have had their fault in this: that the sunlight of eternal values hath dazzled their eyesight; they have seen not the blessings that were theirs for the taking;
3. Their ways have been as dullards; they have played as small children; they have followed false prophets who have lured them with enticements.
4. The sluggard in wisdom hath come unto them and said, Perceive ye my teaching in that it is sweet; it partaketh of no auguries that calleth you to suffer; it raiseth no hand of the marplot against you; it giveth you your bench in the sunlight of soft reasonings;
5. Follow me, therefore, and behold ye lie in roses, your vestments are of silver, your wishes make men weak; behold ye are called to do a great service, but with your lips ye do it . . . else hath the evil one cause to destroy you.
6. Thus saith the sluggard and behold his cohorts seek him.
7. I tell you these are as false as they who say unto children of men: There is no Father except he manifest in miracles; there is only doubt forever.
8. They bear themselves false witness. A great pity on them!
9. I say both shall come unto a place where their faces shall be glorified; they shall taste of the radiance; they shall lift up true voices.
10. Behold I tell you that mankind shall stand purified; he shall wander no longer in vales that hold darkness. When the sun of morning cometh, do not all see the sunrise?
11. When the saints have stood forth, and the prophets have revealed themselves, shall the blind not perceive the blindness they have sheltered? shall the cohorts of the sluggard miss the transgressions of their intellects?
12. My beloved! My beloved! Hoax not yourselves with vain imaginings, neither let the ignorant dissuade you from your rectitude; pretend ye no faith in that which ye know not, but be eager to teach what the reason accepteth.
13. Doth the sluggard annoy you? Slay not your brother's eagerness by thoughts of your annoyance; tarry not in goodly works because of aggravations; accept what is given and know it for profit, in that ye manifest a courtliness to logic.
14. When those who have distraction would seek you out for counsel, do them no mischiefs but lead them to rejoicings; provoke not the least among them by thoughts of your impatience, but harken to their quandaries and bless them with sweet knowledge.
15. For even as knowledge is given for your profit, so it increaseth as seed in a soil, so it knoweth moisture by much acclamation, so it hath growth as compassion raineth on it.
16. I tell you I commit no errand unto you that hath not its scrip in the purse of strong reason.
17. Harken to my maxims. I am your beloved friend who prospereth you well.
18. Wait for mine appearance!
19. Wait for mine appearance!
20. Wait for mine appearance!
21. But tarry not idly while the waiting is in progress. . . .
22. Which guest cometh soonest: he that is watched for, out of a casement, or he who arriveth as his host maketh ready, verily to receive him?
23. For it is goodly unto man to know these things: that one cometh unto him who showeth him the way, and prompteth him to walk in the pathway that is Light. . . .
