“O thou seeker of Truth!…”
515
|
|
The Lord of Hosts became manifest to Moses and
the children of Israel in a pillar of fire, and appeared
to Christ in the fire of the love of God. This is that
of which it is said in the Gospel: One must be baptized
with fire and spirit.
|
Now the lights of the divine bounties of the fire of
the love of God have shone forth in the word and
letters. That is, the words and letters are similar to a
mirror, and the Sun of Truth and the Rays of Significances
have become manifest and shone forth in these
mirrors of words and letters.
|
Seek thou from God that thy heart may be as one
of these letters, until the Eternal Bounty may cast a
ray of splendor therein.
|
Pay attention minutely and cogitate, until thou mayest
apprehend the meaning of this explanation and advance
day by day, like unto thy dear mother.
