CLII: Thine eye is My trust, suffer not the dust… |
|
Thine eye is My trust, suffer not the dust
of vain desires to becloud its luster. Thine ear is a sign
of My bounty, let not the tumult of unseemly motives
turn it away from My Word that encompasseth
all creation. Thine heart is My treasury, allow not
the treacherous hand of self to rob thee of the pearls
which I have treasured therein. Thine hand is a symbol
of My loving-kindness, hinder it not from holding
fast unto My guarded and hidden Tablets…. Unasked,
I have showered upon thee My grace. Unpetitioned,
I have fulfilled thy wish. In spite of thy undeserving,
I have singled thee out for My richest, My
incalculable favors…. O My servants! Be as resigned
and submissive as the earth, that from the soil of your
being there may blossom the fragrant, the holy and
multicolored hyacinths of My knowledge. Be ablaze
as the fire, that ye may burn away the veils of heedlessness
323
and set aglow, through the quickening energies
of the love of God, the chilled and wayward
heart. Be light and untrammeled as the breeze, that
ye may obtain admittance into the precincts of My
court, My inviolable Sanctuary.
