Chapter 239:
Only to the Valiant
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. AGAIN IT cometh unto me that there are those who say, Let
us bow down and do the Beast reverence, for in that he
destroyeth us if we make him not obeisance, we preserve
ourselves to give a goodly accounting unto those who come
blessing us with knowledge; or, behold if we perish by the
Beast, how then do we favor unto our offspring, or have life in
our throats to do good things to the nations?
2. A foul utterance; all of it! . . . I tell you they perish not,
beloved, by giving challenge unto the Beast. . . . . . verily the
perishment cometh in that they bow down and the Beast
treadeth on them.
3. I say they perish not, beloved, save that perishing is
chosen of them for the purpose of life's lessons in their passing
into Knowledge.
4. These are not they who do mighty works for nations.
No nations are guided by those who seek to do circumspectly
unto themselves first and all others second, or that grief may
come upon them or the age of silly teachings.
5. Verily these do mock themselves, I tell you, by the penury
of their intellects; they do save that which hath no worth of
saving, even of themselves, who put forth no hand to arrest the
destroyer saying: It is meet that we arrest him not, for what
have we to do with him if mayhap he pass us by?
6. I tell you the Destroyer passeth them not! . . . only to the
brave is protection afforded.
7. Only to the valiant are given the arms to proceed against
the Juggernaut, only to those who stride fiercely, driving the Evil
One down before them, cometh the rejoicing when that which
was fought for is known of the husbandmen who pursued not
their furrows when vigilance was asked of them.
8. A goodly blessing cometh unto those who have the sign of
Courage on their foreheads, for unto such as these the
Juggernaut bestoweth all which it hath, that it may have more
and the weak become the weaker.
9. I say that I protect mine own when they ask of me
assistance; but is it meet that I should fly to the protection of
those who come unto me saying: Protect us first, O Lord, then
do we do Thy bidding?
10. How know they protection except first they know danger?
how know they the evil man's thoughts against their persons
unless they accost him and see his black visage?
11. My beloved, be wise! . . . it is every man's birthright to say
unto himself: Here do I stand with my cohorts about me! here
do I plant my staff, verily as a banner! here do I perform the
Noble Deed and speak the Word Courageous!
12. What manner of honorable man among you would say:
The toil of my loins fetcheth me no surcease in the labor
of which I am afflicted; I will withdraw and rest awhile
and mayhap whilst I rest, another cometh and ploweth the
furrow?
13. Which think ye, beloved, cometh to know the heralding of
the Lord of the Harvest: he who hath toughened his biceps and
put share into his furrow, or he who hath said, Let the stalking
evil pursue another, for I do take mine ease and presently the
sun goeth down on the one slain and the vigilant unto self are
made to see the sunset?
14. Whenever have I told you that the love which suffereth
long and is kind hath no essence of its effort, or showeth no
motive that is splendorful with action?
15. Have I not said, rather, that he who persisteth hath a kingly
crown to gain, whilst he who dwelleth in the shade of the fig tree
hath only his huskings when those who have been valiant are
called to eat the victory?
16. Hear me say it loudly: The times call for courage! . . . .the
night hath its murmur of an evil inkling, the wise man maketh his
bed in a garret that those who may roam the highways to rob
find him not in a bed of silver linings, saying amongst
themselves, Doth he not slumber in the peace of
an undeserved luxury? therefore let us take him and divide his
bed among us.
17. Thus cometh it, beloved. The times have an augury, yea
verily the world hath an augury that transcendeth the passng
circumstance; there come upon men great cleansing
pestilences that they know whereof they do vomit their loathings
of that which hath putridity, of that which hath defiled them.
18. They do make no preferences unto themselves saying:
This we embrace and that we disdain.
19. I tell you every man taketh his staff and marketh his
earnings, he taketh his weapons and maketh his defendings of
that which is propitious according to his godliness.
20. He shall mark his own goings by the rod of his effort
expended in luxuries not of his devising.
21. As it was with the prophets, so shall it be with those who
wear the prophets' mantles.
22. For if it cometh to man that the choosings and excitings of
conquest be not his own, and his experience be his accolade
unto eternal splendor, how then knoweth he that he hath an
errand unto himself and that the times are his testing, whether
he be worthy to execute his brevet?
23. Mark ye well my words, and stand forth as those who have
a goodly seed to sow, fearing no fowler's gun that felleth from
the highroad.
24. For I tell you it is Written that only he falleth who hath given
hostages to folly; he who would conquer knoweth his destiny,
he pursueth it diligently; he perceiveth that evil hath no mark for
those who seek not carnage in a boastfulness but who give of
their dexterity when the fell hour stalketh and saints in a pit do
call on them for succor.
25. Go your ways and be wise; but in your wisdom remember
always: To him who hath born the heat of the battle goeth the
cooling beverage and the loud hosanna; to him who hath
skulked in the footsteps of cowardice goeth only the carrion
spurned at the feasting.
26. Arise and execute your brevets, each man to his weapon,
each one into his chariot.
27. I tell you the manna of heaven falleth on him who hath
heard the world's augury and made no pretense of dwelling in
stout havens when evil stalked broadly, unchecked by any
challenge!
