\nthrough Zarathustra I gave rab’bahs and chief rab’bahs, so have I through thee; and their
\nfamilies are My families.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nam the higher law, shall have that that they can perceive, which is the lower law.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nJehovih? Jehovih answered, saying: Suffer thyself to be proclaimed at home and in the
\nprovinces, after which thou shalt ratify the laws, and then abdicate, and the kingdom shall
\nfall into other hands.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthen Heloepesus became king, and he became obligated to Capilya, so that the latter,
\nthough not king, stood as a protector over the Faithists, even greater than Heloepesus, nor
\ncould any laws be enacted affecting the Faithists without the consent of Capilya.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nfor I am their King.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nZarathustrians (Faithists), until establishing a protectorate for them, was five years. After
\nthis Capilya traveled about, east and west, and north and south, collecting together the
\nscattered remnants of his people; and he established them in colonies, and taught them
\nnot only rites and ceremonies, but taught the lost arts of tilling the soil and of making
\nfabrics out of hemp and wool and silk; and he established schools and provided teachers
\nfor the people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nglorify Him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nit to bathe the outer part if one putteth filth within?<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nnor wool; let it be testimony of His commandment that man shall clothe himself. To
\nclothe one’s self, and to provide one’s self with food; these are the enforced industry upon
\nall people. In addition to these, to labor for the helpless; to bathe them and feed them, and
\nhouse them and clothe them; these are the volunteer industries permitted by the Father
\nthat ye may prove your soul’s worthiness before Him. Without industry no people can be
\nvirtuous.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\none’s self in constant action to a profitable result. To rise before the sun and bathe and
\nperform the religious rites by the time the sun riseth; and to labor thereafter not severely
\nbut pleasantly until sunset, this is Industry. The industrious man findeth little time for
\nsatan’s inspiration.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nyou; but all shall labor. As ye develop your corporeal bodies unto strength by reasonable
\nlabor, so doth the act of labor develop the spirit of man to profitable growth for its
\nhabitation in heaven. For I declare unto you a great truth, which is, that the idle and the
\nrich, who labor not with the corporeal body, are born into heaven helpless as babes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nAbnegation no man shall have peace of soul, either on earth or in heaven. Consider what
\nthou doest, not that it shall profit thyself, but whether it will benefit others, even as if thou
\nwert not one of them. Without the sixth virtue no family can dwell together in peace.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\npromote love; if not, then speak not. And thou shalt have no enemies all the days of thy
\nlife. But if thou canst justly say a good thing of any man, be not silent; this is the secret to
\nwin many loves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nall men would do this, thou wouldst be surprised at the wisdom of thy neighbors.
\nDiscretion is a regulator; without it, man is like a tangled thread.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nmore than a strong man without them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nsuch things as have been proven to be good, such as rites and ceremonies. Without
\nObservance a man beginneth back even with the earliest of the ancients, and thus casteth
\naside his profit in the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwho hath not Discipline is like a race-horse without a rider. A time to rise; a time to eat; a
\ntime to pray; a time to dance; a time to labor; these are good in any man; but the family
\nthat practiceth them in unison with one another hath Discipline.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nobedient. He that boasteth his disobedience to discipline is a fool and a madman. Greater
\nand better is the weak man of obedience, than the strong man of defiance. For the one
\npromoteth the harmony of the family; but the other ruptureth it.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nmay multiply books and laws forever, but they will not make the family, nor colony, nor
\nstate, happy, without the adoption of these twelve virtues.<\/span><\/p>\n
\none good man, even in a sparse country, is of more avail than a thousand preachers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nperform the rites and ceremonies, but their behavior is not of the twelve virtues.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nand love, doing good toward one another, is the manifestation of more wisdom than all
\nthe books in the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\ncat or a dog. Great learning is not only in books; he who hath learned to harmonize with
\nJehovih hath great learning.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nresisting not any man with weapons of death, saith Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nMy commandments.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nAnd they were nations of warriors; they built monuments to glorify their greatest slayers
\nof men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nVoice!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n(community); so should be the state. Harmony in a man’s soul is his greatest blessing; and
\nso of the family, and of the state.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nin the family. Whoso triumphs in self-desire or in inflicting on others his opinions or
\ndoctrines, is the worst, bad man in the family.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nsisters. To magnify one’s soul so as to realize this brotherhood, is a great virtue. No
\nmatter what name He hath, there is, nevertheless, but One Creator; and all peoples are
\nHis children. Call thou Him what name thou wilt, I will not quarrel with thee. I am a
\nchild of His love; by love will I prove it unto thee. No man can prove this by war.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nanchor (the body). The highest, best life in this world, findeth the highest best life in
\nheaven. To love thy Father Who created thee; virtuous happiness is little more than this.
\nThe happiness of lust, is hate to thy Creator.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthy Creator gave thee a corporeal body. Be not in haste to enter the unseen world; make
\nsure that thou hast learned the stroke of the resurrection erst thou puttest aside thy flesh
\nand bones.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthe key-note. Music is of two kinds: sounds and assimilation. Dumb instruments may
\nmake sound-music; but assimilation cometh to the real matter of putting one’s behavior in
\nharmony with the community.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>15. Good works! Who knoweth the meaning of these words? King Yokovrana judged the
\ngood works of a man by the number of bad men he had slain. When alms-houses promote
\nlaziness they are not good works. Preaching, and praying, and singing, are not works; they
\nare the blossoms, and with enticing fragrance. Yet satan persuadeth man that these are
\ngood works. Nevertheless, all fruit is preceded by blossoms. The most learned man, the
\nmost pious man, and the greatest philosopher can not tell what is the meaning of the
\nwords, good works. But a mother, with a child one day old, can tell; a farmer, that hath
\nsowed and reaped one harvest, and given half of it away to the less fortunate, can tell also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthey exceed one’s own requirements and are given to others. To live on the earnings of
\nothers, save in time of helplessness, is evil. To preach and not produce substance for
\nothers; such a man is a vampire. He selleth sermons and opinions to the ignorant, making
\nbelieve his words are Jehovih’s concerns.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nhelping; he who giveth words only, and not labor, is a servant of hell. He findeth honeyed
\nwords, and drawleth his voice; he liveth in ease and plenty; he stretcheth out a long face
\nseriously; he is a hypocrite and a blasphemer against his Creator.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nfor thy preaching shall bear evidence of joyful light; and thy presence give to the weary
\nand disconsolate assurance that thou art the Creator’s son, come in earnest to glorify Him
\nby righteous works and a helping hand.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nrestored the Zarathustrian commandments and the songs of Vivanho. Nor since two
\nthousand years were the children of Jehovih so well standing before the world. And peace
\nand plenty came upon the land of Vind’yu, even greater than in the days of Brahma.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\nangels, even to the words he uttered, though oft he knew it not. Such is it to walk with the
\nCreator. Now whilst this was going on in Vind’yu, the Creator also labored through his
\nangels in the land of Egupt, with Moses, of whom hear ye.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
