63. So by God! We mention unto thee every operation, and We relate unto thee that which hath never been previously attained by the knowledge of anyone, and as such, ye shall bear witness unto It with thy spirits and souls, should ye become aware. So We mention unto thee the Scale of Nature in the intimation of symbolic expressions which proceedeth from this divine youth within it, and the divine Youth is indeed within the Farthest Limit of this Divine Wisdom, and this is the Divine Bestowal, could ye but understand.Therefore, We relate unto thee at this time what shall make thee independent of those who are preoccupied with this construct reality. 64. Be apprised then that when ye hath realized that no affair taketh place without the Mercury or the Sulfur, then ye will hath recognized them in the Sun and the Moon, those two which are the Gold and the Silver. Then recognize that the Salt gaineth salinity in the decomposition of the bodies in such a manner that ye could never find a better source than It for the Gold, should ye closely examine all things, for within Itself It has a natural affinity which cannot be entirely revealed with the pen, even were ye to write for the duration of thy long life. And should ye find this Salt from Its source, then refine It and analyze every mystery which proceedeth from It and is produced by It until it becometh a pure Mist or a refined Oil, then by God, ye will hath attained unto the summit of knowledge and science, for within the Salts existeth the mystery of every hidden and verifiable secret, like the definitive sciences which exist in the hearts of the sincere. So will ye not testify? This proceedeth from a certifiable truth in which everyone who is bereaved of wandereth in the vale of ignorance, so much so in fact that they are utterly mystified about it. Thus doth the Nightingale of knowledge chant upon the boughs of wisdom with enchanting and beloved melodies, and We hath contented Ourselves therewith, for the instruction which We hath unveiled for thee hath caused alarm among the people, but none shall ever attain thereto except by means of the love of God and His Companions. And this is that which He bestoweth upon thee by virtue of this Exalted Pen through these countless Tablets. Yet, should ye desire to hearken unto Me, then ye must seek from God that which shall free thee from the Gold and the Silver. So by God! This is indeed the limit of the instruction, would ye but take heed, for the Gold and the Silver are incapable of liberating anyone. Nay, they but doth serve to increase their wretchedness, just as ye observe. But that which We call thee unto, It shall make thee independent of whosoever dwelleth within the heavens and on the earth, should ye take firm hold of the Cord of instruction within this teaching.
