the sword of wisdom
Nothing on earth resembles wisdom
In its power to cleanse and purify;
And thus in time a man may find himself
Within himself, - a man perfected in spiritual exercise.
A man of faith, intent on wisdom,
His senses all restrained, will won wisdom;
And, wisdom won, he’ll come right soon
To perfect peace.
The man, unwise, devoid of faith.
Doubting at heart, must perish:
No part in this world has the man of doubt,
Nor in the next, nor yet in happiness.
Let a man in spiritual exercise all works renounce,
Let him by wisdom his doubts dispel,
Let him be himself and then
Whatever his works may be, they will never bind him more.
And so, take up the sword of wisdom, cut
This doubt of thine, unwisdom’s child,
Still lurking in thy heart:
Prepare for action now, stand up!
