Chapter 195:
All Things Are Wrapped in Progress
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. THERE is a Door and a Way, there is a Heaven and a
Revilement, there is an Altar and a Cross! . . . whosoever hath
told you otherwise hath not been blessed by those who have
knowledge, yea even that learning which exalteth the heart.
2. I tell you that it hath been known from olden time that
tumult hath its message, that the winds have their augury, that
the tempest hath a power to drive ships out of storm.
3. Hath it not been known likewise unto you that the cries of
men's hearts have been raised in an evil? How cometh it meet
that those who do transgress have a knowledge of fulfillment?
4. Truly are they perplexed who have lack of that knowledge.
Lo, they know not the times, they perceive not the seasons,
when that which is augured hath its hand in their destinies.
5. I say that ye have tumult that bespeaketh a fountain. Ye
have a wind in the grass that bespeaketh a harvest. Ye have a
knowledge of that which cometh that when it cometh it
findeth you pondering, not as the witless who take pause
at their ignorance but rather as wise men who marvel at
counsel.
6. That which cometh, cometh. That which hath substance,
endureth in substance. That which hath ennoblement taketh the
spirit and maketh it effulgent.
7. There are those among you who beseech me for
substance. I say unto them that the evil man hath substance,
thereby is his evil a stench in the land.
8. There are those among you who beseech me for increase.
I say that they have it, but their hands have a palsy.
9. There are those among you who beseech me for
blessings. I say they have doubtings that the way of the
conqueror cometh to victory.
10. Ever was it thus, beloved, when that which is of ignorance
beggareth its luxury.
11. I give unto you discernments, which way the wind bloweth;
I give unto you reasonings which way the road lieth.
12. I perform a malfeasance among you if I come unto you
saying, This way is the Stone, and thereby is the Fish. I say
unto you rather, Let us counsel together that the evil man hath
blessings in dividing his substance with those who are needy,
that those who have substance make others an increase and
thus all shall be fed, including the godless.
13. Whenever was it told you that man hath an errand that
includeth not his brother? Have warnings not been sent you that
an evil time befalleth those who have substance but pay of it no
parcel unto those who are lean?
14. Your times cry out for redress. Lo, redress cometh! But
think ye that it cometh of one who saith, Perceive ye the Plan!
eat of your nourishment but give naught of your pence unto him
who hath wrought it?
15. Ye do make a great confusion, ye do cry with a wail, ye do
lift up your tongues and perform a great tumult, ye do say, The
Son of Man verily hath forsaken us, we are children in the night,
our power hath an augury that bringeth us to folly.
16. Ye do play upon harps that create a great discord, ye do
stand amid gales and perceive that they tear you.
17. Is it meet for me to say, The way of the transgressor is
hard, beloved, . . . and give you no potion to slake your own
thirst? Is it meet for me to tell you, Your burden is offensive, . . .
yet show you not that rock wherein is a shelter?
18. Is it just for me to say, Behold did I not travel the same way
before you? . . . yet offer you no surcease from the thorn that
afflicteth you?
19. Behold ye do accuse me of performing a folly. Ye do say
that I am heartless and discern not your sufferings. Ye do
count yourselves no costs in spiritual attainings but lift a hand at
me and send at me revilings.
20. I say unto you, Ye perceive not the Plan, ye possess not
the Wisdom, ye go and come in error, if ye take not a notice of
that which transcendeth the spite of the hour and see not the
truth in the heart of its mockings.
21. For ye are not as sheep whose shepherd hath a
willfulness; at no time are ye driven where wolves may devour
you or those who make enticements treat with you basely.
22. Rather are ye sent a blessing on a blessing, that ye lift up
your faces and augur the Morning.
23. Verily, that which is evil must be known for its evil; that
which is richness must be grasped for its wealth.
24. I say that ye have been patient, yea seven times seven;
ye have fought a great famine, ye have known a great thirst;
25. Ye have lifted up your eyes in a wilderness of error, and
laid down your beds in the way of the robber.
26. Is it not meet that ye shouldst greet a resting-place that is
chosen by your wisdom, propounding no error that chooseth
your companionship because ye are unknowing?
27. The world hath its wail in that knowledge is rejected. The
times have a tumult that a wind may sweep clean the beguilings
of the fasters who eat not themselves from the platters set for
others.
28. I say, Perform no lecheries unto Caesar, yet cast me not
out for having warned you that an evil cycle closeth and those
who know radiance give an act unto their missions.
29. Inasmuch as ye have sought counsel of me, so are ye
preserved in the night of the tempest. Inasmuch as ye do
have knowledge of your times, so sit ye down as wise men and
partake of benefaction;
30. For ye do witness a miracle meant for the mighty; ye do
endure a little while as the storm is at its darkness but the Light
cometh to you and its waters know tranquillity.
31. Take a tribute as ye may in what the world offereth;
persevere in remonstrance that the times are beset by the furies
of beguilement that hath in it its mischief;
32. For I tell you, surcease cometh. I give you a promise that
the rock shall be riven, that a lushness springeth forth when that
which is evil is known by its tongue, when that which is foul is
discerned by its odor, when that which is base is bought by its
ransom, and all things together are wrapped up in Progress.
33. Hear ye my words! Ye do make unto yourselves houses of
glory as that which is allotted is piled up in thanksgiving.
34. Verily I adjure you, hear a goodly speech, that the voice of
the Teacher giveth you a mortar whereby blessings weld
together and provide you with a shelter. . . .
