THE QUEST OF THE PEARL- THE ROBE OF GLORY (A POEM)

But all those things that fell on me,
My parents perceived them and were afflicted for me;

And a proclamation was made in our kingdom that all should speed up at our doorstep,
The Kings and princes of the Parthians and all the greats of the east.
So they have a plan in my name that I might not be left in Egypt.
And they wrote me a letter, and every nobleman signed his name:

From your father, the king of kings, and your mother, the mistress of the east and your brother, our next in line,
To you our son, who is in Egypt, greeting!
Get up and wake up from your sleep, and listen to the words of our letter!
Remember that you are a son of kings!
See slavery [and] you serve! Remember the pearl
For which you rushed to Egypt!
Think of to brilliant dress, and remember your glorious robe,
That you will wear as adornment.
Your name is named in the Book of Life, and with your brother, whom you have received,
You will be in [return to] our kingdom. ”

And my letter [was] a letter that the King
[as the ambassador had] sealed with his right hand,
To keep him from the wicked, the children of Babel and the tyrannical demons of Sarbug.

He flew the same eagle, the king of all the birds;
He flew and went down beside me, and became all-discourse
At the sound of his rustle, I started and woke up from my sleep.

I took it and kissed him, and untied his seal, [and] read;
And according to what was drawn on my heart
Were the words of my written letter.
I remembered that I was a son of Kings,
And my free soul wanted its natural state.
I remembered the Pearl, for which I had been sent to Egypt

And I began to charm him, the terrible serpent with strong breath.
I calmed him and lulled him to sleep
Naming my father’s name on him, and the name of the next rank.
And my mother, the Queen of the East;
And I ripped off the Pearl,
And turned back to go to my father’s house.
From their filthy and unclean clothes I stripped myself, and left it in their country,
And I took my right way, to come to the light of our house, to the east.

And my letter, my awake, I found before me on the road,
And as with his voice, he had awakened me, [therefore] also with his light, he was driving me,
Shining before me in a radiance garment,
Shining like the royal silk.
And with his voice and his advice, he also encouraged me to speed up.
And with his love attracted me.

I went forward, passed through Sarbug, I left Babel on my left hand,
and reached Maishan the great, the haven of merchants seated on the shore of the sea.

  1. This meaningful poem has many similarities with the biblical parable of the prodigal son. They both imply that we have left the rich house of the Father to enter the world of action and the sacrifice that he had to make for us to be so fulfilled and happy from birth. This approach is part of the process intended to make us aware of the importance of who we are and the value of all the riches that God has provided us so that we glorify him for what he truly is and so that we become worthy to enter into possession of our eternal kingdom. But to achieve this, a lot of effort and sacrifice are necessary, because just as the spirit of happiness which animates us and which reminds us from the depths of ourselves of the beautiful celestial memories through music, sex, sharing , success and other experiences that thrill us at times; matter allows itself to be pierced with great difficulty before revealing to us its secrets which constitute the pearl of great value with which we must one day present ourselves before the creator for his greatest happiness and our greatest good. To better ensure the success of this journey, he has provided us with everything we need and expects us to make good use of it at the appropriate time. All this is clear and clear. However, what I fail to grasp is the difference between spirit guides and Jesus. The Bible speaks of the latter as being the messiah, the savior of the world and the one who must judge the living and the dead. In this sense it has become the cornerstone of the corner and the door to the sheepfold. It is also known as the rock of centuries. Why don’t all the other living teachers want to guide his disciples in the name of Jesus only? For it is said in the Bible that no other name was given in heaven and on earth to save than that of Jesus. My friend, would you like to enlighten me more on this subject?

    1. Jesus’ mission is completed on earth through his gospel. If you love me, keep my commandments, he declared.
      A modern-day Master must recognize the importance of his message which aims for the perfection of those applying who must one day become like the heavenly Father. There is no conflict when it comes to the goal of each spiritual guide, but the problem lies in the methods used to achieve it. Because, very often some of these methods contradict each other and reflect the desire for a mutual rejection of one pedagogy over another. “I have made your Name known to the men you gave me.” By saying this, Jesus implied that God does indeed have a Name of his own. However, the very idea of ​​a single name is incompatible with hundreds of thousands of Masters who each communicate the name of God to their disciples. To respect the idea of ​​this unique denomination of the one true God, the Masters will have to drink from the same source. The teaching of Christ is therefore the foundation on which to build so that the house will be strong. If the Bible is the reference book par excellence in matters of spirituality, it is fashionable to cling to it. “Every spirit that confesses that Jesus is not the Christ does not come from God” says the Apostle John.
      Consequently, the notion that Jesus is the cornerstone places him at the center of debates in order to realize whether he is the perfect Model that all other Masters must follow or not.
      Thank you for your contribution my friend in the work of re-education of others.

      1. Who can say that they are not leading their flocks with the same name that Jesus had given to his disciples until now? Which I very much doubt, and who would know?
        If anyone knows this name yet, that would be great. It would prove that no progress has been made if Jesus’ sheep were hanging around here until now.
        Here is how the Masters of Sant Mat explain this matter of name:

        17:4 I have glorified you on earth, I have finished the work that you gave me to do.

        Explanation :

        I have filled my disciples with love and devotion to You. They had forgotten You by loving the perishable world, but now I have turned their faces towards You. “I have completed the work you gave me to do. » Christ does not say that he can save all souls after his death. He declares: I have completed my mission; I have nothing more to do in this world.

        Like all true Masters, Christ was in constant communion with the Father, and naturally he had no need to express himself in words.

        Whatever Christ says to his Father, he says for the benefit of his disciples. He knew and his Father knew, that his task was finished, and that he would now merge again with the Father, but he said all this out loud for the sake of his disciples, to comfort and comfort them.

        17:5 And now you, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world began.

        Explanation :

        I have completed my mission, says Jesus. So, Father, bring me back to You, where I was before I came here. Take me back to where we were before You created the world, before creation was. I was with You then, and I desire to return to You now, because my mission here on earth is completed.

        17:6 I have made your name known to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.

        (Who can be proud of having been one of these men?) EN

        Explanation :

        I gave birth to love and devotion for You in the souls You gave me, says Christ. They were Yours to begin with, before creation, but then they were lost in this world, and You gave them to me to bring back to You. They have now been connected to Your Word – Shabd, or Nam – and are on their way back to You.

    2. Are we not still in the Christian era?
      The current Masters do not come with a new message other than that of love, therefore, the Comforter does not announce anything more than Jesus had already said. The order is well established.
