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. . . .
