With what shall I appease them? With what shall I comfort them? Or what good form of treasure is there on high that I should bring it forth and give it them and cause them to rejoice? For I have beheld and seen: I have gold, [but] there is gold in the world; I have silver, [but] there is silver in the world; I have precious stones and pearls, [but] there are precious stones and pearls in the world. Wheat and barley, honey and oil, I have already placed in the world. But what is lacking the world? This secret and this mystery which is not in the world. Therefore I shall give them this means of loftiness, that thereby My children shall raise themselves up.”
God Seeks to Comfort Humanity with Heavenly Bounty
