Chapter 230:

The Meaning of Peace

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. HATH the day been propitious? . . . behold, many things have I accomplished that make easier the way unto sweet salvation for those who walk darkly.

2. Those who walk in darkness have witness of me, even in that darkness; I say they know my voice;

3. They know that I stand ready to receive them unto myself but the heart hath its burden, it imprisoneth them in tumult.

4. Should I disown those who would have none of me? How say I unto the multitudes then, Peace be unto you? Should I say, Peace unto those who love me but no peace unto those who dwell in wickedness of heart?

5. I am he who standeth radiantly, that all men should come up to me. My peace is my peace. Would they partake of it? It awaiteth to receive them.

6. The day hath its close; the week hath its ending; behold the Sabbath cometh and I hear ten million prayers upraised unto me that I should bless men's labors.

7. Is it not the truth that they should bless themselves?

8. What deeds do they, that I should add grace unto them?

9. Verily humankind would have no need for blessing if men's hearts sought the truth and performed in its skillfulness.

10. Yet do I know those who pray earnestly and sincerely for the Truth; I visit them privily; I make them stout of courage.

11. Men make confusions but I command order. Men perform mischiefs but I perform excellence. Thereat is my Peace.

12. Yet know ye, my beloved. . . . there is the peace of resignation and there is the Peace of Love that ever hath its valiance. The last is of me!

13. I do not command the peace that is verily smothered war; I command that peace which suffereth with a tolerance, I command that peace which endureth with a kindness;

14. Yet ever my Peace demandeth Justice regardless!

15. What would I have of Peace that had hatred in the heart, that quelled the raised blow yet bottled righteous anger.

16. Would I come unto you saying, Give your hostages to tumult! . . . let the war have no noise. . . keep to your tents though the heart be black with sorrow?

17. When I say Peace, I bespeak a great equity. . . see to it that the evil man quench the wrong unto his neighbor, let the bastions of Peace be the compact that endureth.

18. Make clean the temples wherein ye do sacrifice to Spirit, then Peace is that flame whereof the altars have a surfeit.

19. Seek out your brethren and undo the fault, then Peace cometh unto you as a dove to her cage. . . .

20. Man hath said evilly, The Bright One's peace upon you! and taken the groat that hath festered the spirit.

21. I say unto all of you, Fester not the spirits of men in any way whatever, thereat is your recompense. . . that Peace dwelleth with you as a bride with her beloved.

22. I counsel to that Peace. I say, Go and make it!

23. Mock me not with empty phrasings that Peace hath her victories no less renowned than War. . . . Peace hath no victories. . . . Peace is an eschewment. . . . It is a sweet glove given unto the brother's hand in settlement, it is the altered fault, it is the generous benevolence, yea it is the altered understanding that whatsoever ye would that men would do unto you, do ye likewise unto them.

24. Peace hath its root in patience. It playeth a sweet chord on the winds of many tumults. Yet ever it is the forest that conquereth the winds, it is the bright cloud of pleasant morrow, I say it is the helmet taken from the forehead.

25. Do ye righteously with men and Peace sitteth always as the lord at your banquet, it maketh you a sonnet, it beguileth you as Incense.

26. There is no other Peace. . . remember I have said it!
