SCRIPTURES
Pearl 22
In silence the mystery is preserved;
In hearing, the mystery is awakened.
Those who know speak little,
Those who speak know less.
Guard the sacred with silence,
And the sacred will blossom like a rose.
Live the sacred,
And you will live forever.
Give forth words with which to argue,
And contentions will arise.
Meet an argument with an argument,
And peace will disappear.
Let frustration seize your words,
And you become the captive.
Resent those who would contend,
And you become undone.
Show your joy and speak it well,
And arguments fade away.
Be the light which does but dance,
And the darkest night will yield.
Rest in silence, quiet and deep
And all things will soon be known.
Be still and calm and quietly listen,
And the voice of God will speak.
And so, the Master will not argue,
Will not contend or fight.
But does instead most quietly rest
In the bosom of greater knowing.
Holding up for all to see
The joy which inward shines.
Providing for all a place of refuge,
Made quiet and oft sublime.
