Chapter 242:
Leave No Stone Unturned
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MY DEARLY BELOVED: Let it be known among you that a time
approacheth when it transcendeth sense to know whereof
the battle rageth.
2. It cometh unto man that he is cast down in utter darkness
and there is none to raise him.
3. I say they speak falsely who do thus advise him.
4. Man, I tell you, is content with his lot, even of suffering,
else would he rise up and smite the smiter of his destinies.
5. He loveth penury, and want, and starvation, saying: Behold
these are my lot, and when the day cometh that they depart
from me, then shall I know surcease; behold I return unto my
labors chastened.
6. I say it is an abomination unto me that man so thinketh and
calleth it his destiny.
7. Behold he hath a temper to grind with the enemy, he hath
a lechery to overcome, he hath a basket to fill with goodly fruits
which he plucketh of his own accord from the Father's garden of
mercy and justice, he hath a destiny to complete that cometh
not of suffering only as suffering ennobleth him as he cometh
into the strength to bear it.
8. Now I tell you, beloved, that he is able to bear it; he taketh
it unto his bosom as a maiden taketh her lover, asking that he
shall woo her.
9. It behooveth man to partake of that which is of moment
unto his soul; it behooveth him to know that he standeth
or falleth by his own intentions toward his brethren, goodly
or wicked.
10. He cometh or goeth in fortune, and is raised or cast
down; but ever he asketh himself: Why, if these be woes, do
I hug them unto my bosom and my hearthstone?
11. I tell you, beloved, he knoweth not goodness, he knoweth
not calmness, he knoweth not the goodly fruits of a goodly tree,
he taketh his own desires to be the fruits of the Tree of Life, not
acting with the sense which the Father hath accorded him.
12. He hath small desire in his heart for righteousness, and
chargeth me with a falseness unto him in that I have deserted
him when he perceiveth he hath most need of me.
13. Perish the thought that I do desert my sheep when they
have need of me; they call and I answer; I come unto them
constantly.
14. But men love lechery, and make their bed with vileness
and suffering, saying: There is no clean bed for us, thus do we
recline where night hath caught us.
15. I tell you they are not to be classed with those who have
the brand of wisdom on their foreheads.
16. There are those who must suffer to know the reality of
eternal blessings. I tell you no power in heaven, or in the earth
beneath heaven, giveth them a lasting blessing, or a lasting
surcease from their strivings or their rantings.
17. It behooveth me to tell you that the time cometh presently
when men shall foregather to be led of the Evil One.
18. Men shall declare unto themselves: The Lord of
Righteousness and Justice hath shut His face from us; thus do
we enlist ourselves under the banners of those who protect us
with the might of their shekels and the sword of their wrath
against the pestilence that stalketh, although made by
themselves.
19. But rise ye up and smite them as I give you license; give
them a battle as I show you arms; take unto yourselves
phalanxes of friends and perform ye righteously in a company
that is righteous.
20. Leave ye no stone unturned to do this thing, and presently
ye shall see that the tide turneth and the enemy fleeth before
the ranks of my chosen.
21. Ye are those who have been committed of old to a policy
of leadership, but in your leadership be pure. I say unto you as
I shall say again, Eschew evil, make no vauntings, always
take action!
22. Take heed that ye do no alms before men which cause
them to say: It is meet that we support these men in that
they perceive the truth and publish it with much acclaim;
mayhap they tell us secrets that we are enriched in purse
and scrip.
23. I say it displeaseth me that there are those who go thus
discussing you; it cometh unto me that they take counsel
together, wondering if ye be those who lead them to prosperity
of purse and manners.
24. I say, Lead them not for purses and manners, whether they
be lean or whether they be full, but lead ye them for
righteousness' sake, verily among all nations.
25. Give unto every man a full measure of confidence who
cometh unto you declaring, I am sent unto you of my
conscience, I come before you asking alms of the spirit, that ye
do show me whereof I serve and make myself of value in the
Kingly One's household.
26. Give such your hand; I say give him your heart; yea give
him your treasure; but restrain yourselves if so be it ye do
hear him remark among the brethren, It was the only way to
save my body from the Evil One's reckonings.
27. I am wearied of those who say: Lord, Lord, we love Thee
and do Thy bidding. I would have them depart from me when
they turn and conspire with the Evil One adroitly, thinking that
I forgive them in that good ever prospereth from such evil
thinking. . . .
