O SON OF MAN! Be thou content with Me and seek no other helper. For none but Me can ever suffice thee. (158:3) O SON OF SPIRIT! Ask not of Me that which We desire not for thee, then be con tent with what We have ordained for thy sake, for this is that which profiteth thee, if therewith thou dost content thyself. (158:4) O SON OF THE WONDROUS VISION! I have breathed within thee a breath of My own Spirit, that thou mayest be My lover. Why hast thou forsaken Me and sought a beloved other than Me? (158:5) O SON OF SPIRIT! My claim on thee is great, it cannot be forgotten. My grace to thee is plenteous, it cannot be veiled. My love has made in thee its home, it cannot be concealed. My light is manifest to thee, it cannot be obscured. (158:6) O SON OF MAN! Upon the tree of effulgent glory I have hung for thee the choicest fruits, wherefore hast thou turned away and contented thyself with that which is less good? Return then unto that which is better for thee in the realm on high.
(158:7)
