depend upon means, and the grace of God shall be all-sufficient unto you.
Trees that yield no fruit have been and will ever be for the fire.



“81: O MY SERVANT! The basest of men are they that yield no fruit...”


O MY SERVANT! The basest of men are they that yield no fruit on earth.
Such men are verily counted as among the dead, nay better are the dead in
the sight of God than those idle and worthless souls.



“82: O MY SERVANT! The best of men are they that earn a livelihood...”


O MY SERVANT! The best of men are they that earn a livelihood by their
calling and spend upon themselves and upon their kindred for the love of
God, the Lord of all worlds. The mystic and wondrous Bride, hidden ere
this beneath the veiling of utterance, hath now, by the grace of God and
His divine favor, been made manifest even as the resplendent light shed by
the beauty of the Beloved. I bear witness, O friends! that the favor is
complete, the argument fulfilled, the proof manifest and the evidence
established. Let it now be seen what your endeavors in the path of
detachment will reveal. In this wise hath the divine favor been fully
vouchsafed unto you and unto them that are in heaven and on earth. All
praise to God, the Lord of all Worlds.
