Chapter 193:

Go Before the Multitude

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. I HAVE come to you in story, I have come unto you in song, I have handed you a staff, I have spoken to you a prophecy;

2. Lo, I have come unto you when that which was righteous was bespoken by evil; I have made you a tent from the scorchings of error; I have given you peace which embalmeth the spirit.

3. Is it not meet that ye shouldst be wise? Is it not Truth which ye hear from my lips? Is it not of sense that the things spoken unto you should be known by their substance, that the evil whereof ye do have concernment should manifest its error, that things of the Spirit should be known of the spirit?

4. Is it not holy that circumstance engulf you, that out of its torment ye may greet Benefaction? How know ye it otherwise? Whence cometh your knowledge of that which is godlike except that ye have contact with that which hath error?

5. I tell you that there cometh a wilderness upon you, that out of its dangers ye do value a shelter, that out of its tumult ye perceive a tranquillity.

6. I do not come unto you as one who would harass you; I stand in no fig tree and bid that ye eat nettles; I give not my Spirit unto those who work lecheries;

7. I seek out the humble, and raise them to strength.

8. Hear ye my words!

9. I perform you a magic, I raise you to heights where the intellect vaunteth, I say that ye have missions that come out of me.

10. I say that ye do make unto yourselves graven images when that which is mighty is worshiped as Might.

11. I give you true doctrine. I manifest no error. Yet I offer you no surcease till the race hath been run for the knowledge which it holdeth of that which restraineth and bindeth the unhallowed.

12. I say that ye do make a blasphemy of men when ye do look unto your strength to win a great conflict. I say that ye do make a mockery of love when ye sharpen your weapons to do harm unto a foe.

13. Lo, it hath been said that he who would be greatest among you, let him be as your servant;

14. I say, Let him who would be greatest among you go before the multitude and proclaim a great lechery, but in his proclaiming, give heed unto the humble, in his remonstrance do good unto the weak;

15. For he who would be greatest among you shall cast out a thorn though his own foot be pierced, he who would vaunt himself before you shall come in at a door and make peace with a household;

16. He who hath an errand among you from everlasting to everlasting shall give heed to the tumult but pass through its iniquity. He shall give of his strength to voice his remonstrance but shall draw not his sword to deal vilely with vileness.

17. Hear ye my words: I come as a messenger seething with radiance, I come as a herald who is clothed in a brightness;

18. I make known unto your ears pleasant versings of speech, but I give unto mine anointed a cup and a crown; I give them a radiance like unto mine own; I say they are transcendent; they do you no vileness.

19. They come in at the door and the household knoweth blessing; they go out at the door and an emptiness ensueth.

20. I give of myself as the time knoweth violence, I give of my peace as the day knoweth mocking.

21. Whereof have ye been guilty of knowing much error? Was it not said of the prophets likewise: These men do err, fall to, let us stone them!

22. Behold the Son of Man cometh unto those who know stonings. He raiseth them up. He sustaineth them tenderly.

23. The times and the seasons are as cups that are full; the day hath its angers, the morrow its promise;

24. The flock of the shepherd knoweth its wanderings, the eye of the shepherd perceiveth its sorrowings.

25. Is it not meet that ye shouldst sorrow yet a little while, beloved, that out of revilements a cleavage hath issue: which sheep are of me and which know not my voice?

26. I say unto you, Rise up! Partake of the sacrament set for the Wise Ones! Do no ungodly thing that hath not mercy in it! Lift up standards unto Truth! Verily, verily, make mankind profess it!

27. Thus shall ye know honor when that which is tumult hath vanished in upset, when that which is falsehood shall find its voice silenced.

28. I bid that ye tarry yet a little while, beloved, for presently come angels ministering unto you, partaking of your ruin that they may be fat, swathing your foreheads that your wounds may be their own.

29. May the godlike know increase till their cohorts exceed the numbers of winged messengers! May they fast till I come, that after their fasting they proceed to true feasting, that out of their wretchedness cometh their luxury.

30. Arise and be exceeding wise, beloved! Perform the ordained, and that which resulteth shall flame in your hands. . . .
