BOOK XVI

	And the water was given to them from a rock, and from a stone their thirst was quenched. SOLOMON
	Who is a stone if not our God? SOLOMON

RÉUNIT ÈVE

THE ROCK

1

Let us examine carefully what is said or asked of by each one of us and let us see if the thing conforms to the law of God and not the laws of men, and God will reply to us in our heart. But few of us listen to the voice of the Lord, for it upsets our routines, contradicts our passions and destroys our false tranquillity of blind and deaf dying people. "Who will stop up his ears to hear better and who will close his eyes to see better?"

1'

He who does not possess the Spirit of God shall judge the Book as a boring, obscure and useless thing, for too many of the mediocre have discredited the inspired word, emasculating the word of God, propagating imbecilic writings, fabricating dead images and making erroneous comments. In a word, using the holy Scriptures for the petty affairs of men, instead of serving the greatness of divine revelations.

2

Do we no longer know how to recognize the tone of God's truth nor the language of holy poetry? Would it not be because our wretched reason, our little intelligence and our assured mediocrity have stifled in us the voices of humility, inspiration and love, which do not deceive the true children of God?

2'

By mutilating our receptor antennae, we cut ourselves off from inspiration and become deaf. By removing our emitter antennae, we deprive ourselves of our virility and become blind. It is then that our wives rebel, and scorn us when they have to take on our weakening roles.

3

Make us humble, patient, loving, innocent and pure so that we are fully fertilized by your love and led to your everlasting glory, magnanimous and perfect Lord.

3'

Finally, it is our children who treat us as nonentities in our own homes, then anarchy takes over nations, and lastly, slavery establishes itself in the world.

4

When we meet a believer we shall say to him: "Speak to us of God". In this way, our conversations will always be interesting, beautiful and useful. Yet, silence in God is far superior to noise in the world.

4'

He who unveils the mystery of God to anyone, and he who incorrectly receives it, would be cut off without forgiveness for eternity.

5

"We do not have to be patient and courteous with the wicked ones, the hypocrites or the mediocre, who ask for our approval of their evil doings and their platitudes. Let them keep away from us as we keep away from them!"

5'

In fact, only God lays bare his truth before the one he has chosen, for he is the one judge of our hearts and the one owner of his secret. The sages, prophets and saints of God can only reveal it in images to believers with fear and trembling.

6

Those who have been instructed by God recognize the religions and initiations of men, for it is they who establish them when they are lacking and who straighten them when they deviate.

6'

If we do not attract in us the Spirit of God, we shall remain here below like wretched animals, limited to their exterior and stupid senses before the living creation of the Unique One.

7

Agriculture is surely the most useful knowledge for humanity, yet many ignore it, and almost everyone despises it. "Strange blindness!"

7'

We shall be called "the planter of men and the gardener of God". They are prestigious and glorious titles for those who understand.

8

Sowing, mortification, germination, ablution, flowering, fructification, multiplication: such are the successive states of our becoming perfect in God.

8'

God's truth reposes inside our darkened hearts. Only the grace and love of the Lord can manifest it clearly inside and outside ourselves in the dark world.

9

Communion is accomplished in us by the marriage of bread and wine which unite, by means of the water that is contained in all. Thus, they maintain and develop the life that has lived in us since the beginning, and they mysteriously deliver it from the claws of death.

9'

He who has received life directly from God can also give it to whoever he pleases. Yet he prefers to leave this fearsome choice in the hands of the Lord, for God alone is the perfect expert. He knows what our hearts conceal. He knows what time produces. He possesses what makes eternity.

10

While we ignore God's way and are deprived of his holy light, we might imagine that we are the only ones in possession of the truth and that practise the true religion. But when we penetrate the mystery of the unity of the saints in God, we shall be amazed to recognize at the same time the unity of God's teachings in the world.

10'

Thus, we must confront the words and thoughts of the holy books of humanity, so as to reach the transcendent unity that causes all God's enlightened sages to agree from the beginning to the end. Let us remember, however, that the mean reason of exiled men is definitely opposed to the inspiration and revelation of the Lord of light.

11

Rationalists resemble ants who see nothing but their anthill, ignoring the sky that shelters them, the earth that contains them and man who observes them. For they conceitedly believe themselves the masters of their works and of their destiny, without foreseeing the flood, the fire or the kick of the distracted walker that will scatter them.

11'

The temples have become public places that the profane trample on and cross like deserted squares, and the faithful go there like those who go to a station, a market or to do a burden; and the officiants have installed themselves there behind the sales counters and begging posts.

12

An attentive god also watches them, and they do not know it. "Having fallen into the filth, they organize themselves in it instead of getting out of it. Unfortunate intelligence, useless courage in truth."

12'

There are no longer any candidates for the science of God because there are no longer any believers in the omnipotence of God. Thus, God's initiated have become imperceptible in the world, and his adepts have completely disappeared.

13

There is the essence that fertilizes, the substance that is fertilized, the medium that is born, the matter that is created. There is inversely the matter that is solid, the medium that is aqueous, the substance that is gaseous, the essence that is fluid. For that which descends is like that which rises in the bosom of the Unique One.

13'

We must first be patient in the land of faith. - Secondly, we must be purified by the water of grace. - Thirdly, we must be fertilized by the air of the Holy Spirit. - Fourthly, we must be matured by the fire of love. - Fifthly, we must be multiplied by death and by resurrection in the Unique One, for everything ends as everything began.

14

Right now we cry about our agony in the world, but one day we shall cry when we see the fate of those who deny us and who overwhelm us here below.

14'

Let us be careful that death does not strike us like a thunderbolt, and that it does not find us naked and empty like chalices drunk dry.

15

Alas! neither the pity nor even the love of the saved ones will be able to do anything for those who have chosen the excrements of death.

15'

He who wishes to make his peace with God must first make his peace with men and with himself.

16

Aid comes to us from God through the inspiration of the angels and through the ministry of men. Who shall be so stupid as to reject the advice of saints and refuse the help of men after having asked for the aid of the Highest? Who shall be so ignorant as to praise the instrument while neglecting the artist? Who shall be intelligent enough to go back as far as the worker, via the tool and the work?

16'

He who is invited to the Lord's banquet receives the promise of life. - He who eats at the Lord's table benefits from the gift of life. - He who drinks from the Lord's glass obtains the knowledge of life. But he who kisses the Lord on the lips reposes in the bosom of life and commands with the Perfect One. "Who can give without feeling important?

17

The wicked ones shall be obliged to swallow their life mixed with filth for as long as their wickedness lasts. For the eternity of hell is made up of the obstinacy of revolt in ignorance, pride and wickedness.

17'

Oh, believers in God!, rejoice in your tears and laugh at the sufferings of exile, for you shall live in the light of God one day and you shall become transparent and pure.

18

It is the absurdity of forced and useless labour, it is the sin of life mixed with death, it is the infection and the horror of the ever-agonising and everrenascent rottenness.

18'

All shall be given to you without vile mixture and without mercenary work, you shall drink from the sacred source and you shall suck the holy stone, you shall live in splendour, you shall praise and bless the magnificent Lord for the eternity of the union.

19

Let us strive every day to strengthen our faith in the amazing promise of the All-Powerful One. Let us strive to increase our love for the generous who nourishes us. Let us strive to bear without weakening the ordeals of our darkened lives. Let us not tire of asking for the help of the Providence of the Highest. Let us never lose heart in our quest for the holy treasure.

19'

Now, my God, if we have spoken according to your holy truth and if we have acted according to your righteous way, let your blessing flow and make your love rain on your beloved children. Grant your repose on your obedient servants. Provide your peace to your devoted heroes. Communicate your wisdom to your faithful friends. Multiply your love in your loving sons. Make your pure life bloom in your darkened images. Send your salvation to your sleeping bones.

20

The only work that truly counts is work that we do on ourselves. The rest is a provisional stopgap allowed for the necessities of our imprisoned lives.

20'

Now, Lord, that we have ploughed and we have prepared your harvest, grant us the first fruits of your abundance and give us the pledge of your glory without equal.

21

Are there no longer among us anything but hunters of clouds and collectors of smoke? Are there no longer anything but conquerors of dust and conservers of death?

21'

Let us honour the saints and let us remember the faithful believers that have illustrated the word of faith and love, and who have shown us the way of acceptance and of patience in all things.

22

Are there no longer anything but empty shells that the wind shakes as it passes?

22'

Let us praise and bless in our hearts the sons of God, the sages and the prophets who have transmitted the Are there no longer anything but sterile conceited and stupefied beasts? Are there no longer anything but delirious ones gone astray in the darkness of the outside, and pigs that wallow in their excrement?

23

When the wind blows the desert seems alive, but when it stops everything falls back into dust. When passions rise the world appears to be in movement, but when they calm down, we see only the platitude of doubt, and we only hear the rumblings of the beasts' agony.

23'

Let us adore in our hearts the allpowerful God who showers us with his grace, who warms us with his love and who makes us germinate to the heaven of resurrection. "The repeated failures of seekers of arts, systems, sciences and laws should open our eyes and bring us back to the way of the intimate quest for the Perfect One."

24

The devil appears smoothtongued and flattering, kind and prudent, full of promises and easy-going, seductive and sugary, disguised and skilful, evasive and vague, obliging and charming, eager and servile. The world seeks him and is easily ensnared; his salary is deception, desolation, torment and death.

24'

The saint seems hard and coarse, disappointing and severe, rough and brutal, clumsy and offensive, demanding and uncompromising, scandalous and outraged, repulsive and bitter. Everyone flees from him like the plague. His gift is truth, consolation, peace and life in God.

25

Oh, temptation, oh, trap! the impious seize all the apparent goods of the world and relinquish the treasure of life.

25'

Oh, temptation! Oh, safeguard!, the seekers of God have to beg to survive, when in fact they possess the gold that never runs out.

26

Let us not take on airs of saved ones nor affect holiness, for the mud that covers us from head to toe would make us even more grotesque and more laughable in the eyes of everyone. Let us neither stop in our falls, nor sleep on our small victories. Let us walk towards the centre, for it is that alone that counts, and not the sneer or the acclamations of the ignorant crowds. "Let us first of all make our submission to God in the secret of our hearts, then it will not be hard for us to publish it before all."

26'

Do we not hear the word that rings true? - Do we not recognize the tone that vibrates in tune? - Are we not amazed by the inspired word of God? - Are we not moved by the interior voice of him who speaks to us? - Are we not awakened by the clamour of God's envoys? - Are we not upset by the groans of the crucified innocents? - Are we not frightened by the calls of the Highest asking us for love?

27

Let us laugh at the mockers while thinking of our recompense, and let us cry for them while thinking of their salary. Oh, sadness, oh, pain of the rejection of the dead and the dying!

27'

It is better to help a believer than to be enriched by an impious one. How preferable it is, then, to help a single believer than to enrich a thousand impious ones!

28

He who looks humbly at his Lord leaves to time the care of decanting the mud of sin in which he languishes wretchedly, while those who wish to analyze it proudly only render it even more opaque and malodorous.

28'

Knowledge of the holy work is the obtainment of grace, it is the possession of love, it is the entry into glory and into the kingdom of God.

29

God's saints bear a closer resemblance to wandering beggars on earth than to powerful men established in their palaces, but God's sages can be found everywhere, for the temptations of the world can no longer make them forget their magnificent Lord.

29'

By putting our hand in the seed, we shall have dough, by putting our hand in the dough, we shall have yeast, on putting a little yeast in a lot of dough, we shall have the abundance of bread that cures and nourishes the children of God.

30

Following the example of the germs that develop for a long time in the darkness and suddenly shoot up to the light to mature and fructify into the gift of themselves,

30'

we shall reappear from the earth, we shall walk on the water, we shall travel through the air and we shall repose in the fire, to the astonishment of all and of ourselves.

31

Thus, our love in God hatches for a long time in the darkness of faith, to appear on the day of hope and become fully accomplished in the multiplicative virtue of love. "Such is death, and such is life in God."

31'

For the Lord is a marvellous companion who saves us from distress, from abandonment, from falling and from dispersion in death. "Free your God, nourish your love and you shall never be sad or abandoned."

32

Everything can fail us and abandon us, for we ourselves can deny all and relinquish all, but the Saviour could not mislay a portion of his flesh nor forget a drop of his blood in the world. Such is the promise and such is the love of God. "To benefit from the sacrament of life does not necessarily mean one has it available, and to have it available does not necessarily mean one knows it."

32'

Oh, safeguard of crucified love! Oh, memory of dispersed blood! Oh, power of the exploded centre! Oh, vertigo of the magnetized hub! Oh, miracle of rediscovered life! Oh, splendour of purified gold! Oh, stupor of the maintained unity! Oh, fervour of the ecstatic heart! Oh, terror of the exalted union! Oh, death in the life of the Beloved One! Oh, peace in the bosom of he who IS!

33

What is the use of praying hypocritically to God in his temples, if we violate his law in our houses, if we veer off from his way in our lives, if we hamper his work in our hearts?

33'

Why not tell the truth? Only hypocrites and wicked people fear it, because it disrupts their machinations, lays bare their lies and shows up their dishonesty.

34

A sincere believer who prays, who praises and who adores God in his heart is worth more before the Lord than all the right-thinking ones who exhibit themselves complacently in the temple squares.

34'

The illusion of lies will sooner or later be cruelly dissipated by misfortune and death, which will be the share of the deceivers and the deceived.

35

Shall we continue to reject or pretend to ignore the Book for much longer when in fact we call ourselves believers in God? Who among us can fault it and who can refute it before God and before men? Oh, ingratitude, oh, hypocrisy! we remain silent and we try once more to bury God's talent. Oh, unfortunate ignorance! we still do not know that God's truth breaks all the locks of death and finally shines in broad daylight before all the men of creation, so that they can freely choose and thus God's judgement becomes irrevocable and final.

35'

We are all endowed for material pleasures because they flatter the Beast and require no effort. A large number of men are endowed for work because it allows them to avoid thinking and forget themselves in the world. An equal number of individuals are endowed for business because it goes hand in hand with lies and encourages greed. Many are endowed for sciences because they arouse curiosity and dispersion. A small number are endowed for laws, because they require subtlety and reflection. A minority are endowed for the arts, because they demand intuition and renunciation.

36

How unfortunate is the fate of the timorous, but what lamentable fate awaits those who oppose the light of the Lord! "Our crime is unforgivable, for we are right compared to the impious and the hypocrites, the scholars and the ignorant, to the intelligent and the mediocre."

36'

A few are endowed for the quest for holiness, because it needs love of one's fellow-being and self-oblivion. Almost no-one is endowed for the mystery of God, because it is necessary to meditate upon it for a long time and acquire the whole knowledge of nature and of man. However, the love of God is enough for everyone, and everyone can acquire it easily.

37

The artist is a perpetual new-born who is astonished by apparent creation. The scholar is a perpetual curious one who looks for the motive of present creation. The saint is a perpetual agonizer who hopes for repose in hidden creation. The sage is a perpetual living one who is active and who reposes with the Per- fect One in the bosom of purified creation.

37'

There are those who are promised through the revelation of the Lord of charity. There are those who are committed through faith in the Living One of eternity. There are those who are bound by the grace of the All-Powerful One. There are those who are chained by the love of the Beloved One. There are those who are nailed through the union with "In man's semen lies hidden a germ that consolidates the substance of woman. Thus, God's conscience is like a dot that coagulates the Universe and gives it form."

38

It is the assiduous reading of the holy books that engenders and maintains our faith and our courage in God. It is daily frequenting of the sacred Scriptures that gives birth to and keeps our fervour and our hope in the Unique One. It is the repeated study of the revealed words that enlightens and increases our science and love of God and of men.

38'

If we abandon or even simply neglect the holy books, we shall rapidly fall back into the chaos of hell and death. If we study them patiently and if we practise them in our hearts, God shall give us access to his magnificent life and shall lead us to his peace without mixture.

39

It is patient and attentive practise of the sacred teachings that delivers and that makes our life in God perfect.

39'

Let us pray to the Lord that he allows us to reach the bottom of things and of ourselves so as to be able to accede to his divine grandeur and to his holiest repose.

40

Well-meaning commentators are often sinister, but direct relationship with the Lord is never boring.

40'

The light lives in us and surrounds us. But we remain in the darkness of doubt, of desperation or of faith, as long as the Lord does not lift the dark veil that hems us in tightly on all sides.

41

The saints and the angels of God are those who shall deliver the true believers when the latter are reborn in the glorious world of the Perfect One, and the wicked ones and the demons are those who shall deliver the impious and the hypocrites into the world of brutal beasts.

41'

No, the Lord's fantastic promise is not an old wives' tale nor a story for entertaining children. It is a reality that everyone shall see with their own eyes, that only a few shall touch with their hands and that only a few shall know in the secret of their heart.

42

All the wise and holy books are of the word, they come into the word, they remain in the word and they come out of the word again for the instruction and the safeguard of some and the condemnation of others. God imposes the test and in this way prepares the judgement of the end of time and the hierarchy of his new creation.

42'

There is a certain number of faithful among the nations. There is only a small number of believers among the faithful. There is only a small number of saints among the believers. There is only a small number of sages among the saints. There is only a small number of God's sons among the sages. And there is but a single word of God among the divine sons.

43

Thus, among the believers who currently serve many will be served, and many among those who command will have to obey. "Let us notice that God's envoys have always proclaimed themselves servants of God and of men."

43'

It is he who does everything, for everything comes from him and everything returns to him. It is he who inspires the holy Scriptures, it is he who brings them to life, it is he who spreads them, it is he who keeps them and it is he who renews them according to his desire.

44

Let us not despise anything or anyone, for all that we despise no longer brings us any good, and even ends up turning against us. Then, hate and misfortune succeed scorn and privation. Indeed, he who cuts himself off from life and from love is finally cut off by men and by God. Thus, we must be careful never to despise the beings and things that make us live; on the contrary, we must hold them in esteem and love them ever more, so that they too become more and more beneficent and loving.

44'

Let us not argue over any religion or any doctrine. Let us study all the holy Scriptures assiduously. - Let us follow the law of the Unique One, which is the love of God and of his whole creation. - Let us practise his way, which is the return to the pure and holy life of ancient times. - Let us accomplish his work, which is the fixing of our lives in the most perfect centre. Thus, all things shall be accomplished in the ultimate and primary splendour.

45

How much, then, must we love he who has given us life, maintains it, delivers it and restores it in its primitive splendour when we beg him to do so in a holy way!

45'

God's chosen ones perceive him in essence, contemplate him in substance, feel him with their hands in birth and taste him in resurrected body. Oh, holy and perfect mystery of the totality of the Being!

46

The great sages, the great saints and the great artists are marvellous examples that must not discourage us from playing our small personal part, for they are there as examples and as guides to the perfection we can all reach through the simplicity and through the purity of the actions of our hearts.

46'

Let us never despair of God in this life and let us never abandon ourselves in the world. Let us ask, rather, for the Lord's help and let us put ourselves in his skilful hands, for he delivers our life from the filth, he purifies it marvellously and he leads it to the perfection of his admirable Being.

47

Let us go and visit the dead, the sick, the imprisoned, the unfortunate, the abandoned, and after having helped them, let us consider in ourselves the respite that we are still enjoying, and let us immediately set about the quest for God before it is too late.

47'

The Book may appear easy or difficult, but it is never obscure nor far away for him who chooses to help and love without judging. "During temptation, let us pray for our conversion and for that of the enemy."

48

We wish to collaborate in the rehabilitation and reintegration in God of all creatures that have gone astray in death. This is our wish, for the noblest work before God is to separate with him the light from the darkness and cook his truth until the fixed and perfect splendour.

48'

We need great boldness to bless our enemies, but it is the only sure means of delivering ourselves from them, freeing them from the evil that darkens their hearts and that keeps them in blind death. "Does not God also make all things flourish again through his holy blessing?

49

There are many more well-intentioned faithful than enlightened believers. - There are many more people of good will than instructed men. And there are many more people who have gone astray than wicked ones in the world.

49'

If we understand nothing after having studied and meditated upon the Book, it is because we are still darkened due to the filth of sin, which prevents us from seeing the miracle of God in action in the world and in ourselves.

50

Each one condemns his neighbour in the name of the morality of men, instead of seeking the love of the Unique One for oneself and for one's own. "It is nature that makes us get to know man, and it is man that makes us get to know God."

50'

There is but one response to wickedness: to pray in our hearts that the evil one becomes converted and ceases to torment us and himself. "God crushes the rebels and forgives the repentant."

51

How is it that those who come most recommended from God condemn one another and rip one another apart, instead of loving and helping one another like brothers born of the same Father and the same Mother?

51'

Because of their conceited and hypocritical attitude, some turn the worship of God into something suspicious or even odious to many. Others, through the effect of blind zeal, leave it noisily and split it up infinitely.

52

It is because they have more confidence in themselves than in God and in his holy law of love. "They fight one another like dogs and they bark stupidly at wise and holy men. But the divine whip shall soon calm them down."

52'

All of those people only live off the outer layer of the Scriptures, and do not suspect the precious almond they conceal. "He who studies the holy books and speaks to the Lord in his heart practises true religion."

53

They are ignorant of the hidden meaning of the inspired word, their moral explanations are the saddening proof of that. If they understood, they would ascend once more to the source instead of losing themselves in pointless justifications and idiotic disputes. "God shall erase fatherlands, ideologies, confessions and sects, for believers are all brothers in the unity of the Unique One."

53'

God proposes the unheard-of adventure to us and offers us the incredible share. He presents us with the keys to death and life and indicates to us the way that can save us from the chaos of the absurd. But we stupidly persist in pursuing the dying rottenness and we cry out against injustice. Will we always be so stupid and incurable?

54

Let us not be afraid of seeming relentless supplicants and troublesome beggars before the Lord, for he grants his treasures only to those who pray to him with humility, with perseverance and with love.

54'

We are plagued by debts before the Highest, but we always ask him for more so as to test his boundless generosity and to go deeper into his bottomless love.

55

On every occasion when we are tempted, let us pray with love for the conversion of the devil, that is to say, for his submission and for his return to God. Thus, he shall either become converted or he shall distance himself from us and in any case we will be delivered.

55'

It is not by cursing the accursed that we shall bring him back to the fold, and it is not by fighting him that we shall save ourselves from him; it is by asking God's forgiveness for him and for ourselves.

56

Intimate frequenting of the Lord removes all timidity from us and makes our faith effective and our love miraculous; it is that which gives us the necessary and that showers us with the superfluous, so that we are the living witnesses of the blessing of the All-Powerful One.

56'

When we are tormented, let us pray for him who torments us. When we are fulfilled, let us praise the Generous One, but when we are abandoned, let us humbly draw up the inventory of our nakedness and our uselessness, and let us strive to re-establish contact by meditation on the holy books.

57

Many men and things shall pass, and the Book shall be always new and sealed as on the day of its birth, in poverty, in anonymity and in abandonment.

57'

No, we have not written the Book in vain, since multitudes of believers will be confirmed in their faith, fortified in their love and enlightened in their quest. And our reward already shines in the hands and lives in the heart of the magnificent Lord.

58

God is not particularly interested in our situation in this world. He considers instead the state of our hearts, for it is from it that our rescue or our perdition comes from, and the colour of our skin neither adds nor takes anything away from that.

58'

Everyone makes a living from working, trading, playing or stealing. Only he who searches for God is forced to beg for his bread like a useless person. "Oh, marvellous humour of the Highest for him who knows!"

59

Stupid and incurable, those scholars confuse God with an ideal, and living reality with dead ash.

59'

Let us imitate faithfully the procedures of nature, but let us not copy stupidly its deceptive appearances.

60

Let us leave the world to its affairs, which appear to it so serious and so important, and let us occupy ourselves with the affairs of God, which seem so unreal and so distant from the world, and let us remember the proverb that says: "He who laughs last laughs longest", for the echo of this laugh will invade the world and will cover the screams of the reprobates.

60'

The mocking of the intelligent, the vulgarity of brutes, the malice of the wicked ones, the avarice of the greedy, the pride of the powerful, the vanity of scholars, the blindness of sectarians, the hypocrisy of the skilful, the indifference of the ignorant, the satisfaction of the mediocre, keep away the divine treasure that contains life without mixture.

61

Why always beg from men, who only give grudgingly, and never ask anything of God, who satisfies us so generously?

61'

Some have found while reposing that which multitudes have not come close to by working hard. "Oh, unfathomable mystery of the divine gift!"

62

The violence of desire eventually prevents its accomplishment. Thus, after having prayed a lot, it is wise to entrust God with the task of granting us our desires, while simply remaining highly attentive to what happens in ourselves and around us.

62'

It is always necessary to wash in order to separate the almond from the filth that surrounds it, and it is a great secret that nature displays every day before all. However, without God's inspiration we are unable to understand the obviousness of divine science.

63

Who could extinguish the movement of life? Death itself masks it, but does not eliminate it.

63'

All remains in the unity of the One; nothing lasts indefinitely in numbers.

64

Let us give all in the name of God, so that the thanks, the praise and the blessings go to him and then return to us through the effect of his overflowing grace. "The saints love those who love God, before loving those who honour them."

64'

We are united with all believers, with all good men and women, like twin sisters and brothers that share the same body and the same spirit in the transcendent unity of the Unique One.

65

Let us patiently till the Book, and its harvest shall enrich us and nourish us in the peace of the Unique One. "The characteristic feature of the scholars of the world is profanation. The characteristic feature of the sages of God is revelation."

65'

The forger may counterfeit the appearance of the holy word, but he could not imitate its mysterious and living content. Oh, let be silent all those who describe to us the holy light that they have not seen nor touched!

66

We do not have a poetic or literary genius to attract men to God, we know and we preach nothing but the holy truth. "Weak bait: terrible hook!"

66'

Our goal must coincide with God's goal, which is our conversion and our complete restitution, that is to say, the atonement of the Beast and of all creation in the re-conquered unity of the divine body, soul and spirit.

67

By demanding much of oneself and very little of others one achieves all the victories one desires.

67'

By examining ourselves naturally as far as our heart and by reposing in the world, one rapidly reaches God.

68

Rationalist philosophers and delirious false prophets are they not like the thorns that crown the Lord and like those that surround the mystical rose?

68'

The truth does indeed shine inside the well, but the opening is covered in inextricably tangled brambles.
