“Javert” [Reflections on Ralph D. Sawyer's Translation of One Hundred Unorthodox Strategies - Battle Tactics of Chinese Warfare # 21-22B – #7/10]
Les Miserables which Hugo wrote,
Had character – in end he broke
Just like the number seven here –
High standards, but low love is clear –Throughout the story as it’s told –
Old John Val Jean, both strong and bold,
Has rival in this austere man;
A running clash of two men’s plans.Here, quote from Secret Teachings says
This personality displays
A type who can insulted be
In anything reproaching “Me”.This brittle pride is quickly cracked –
Quite unintentional, in fact,
Some comment, or some incident,
Is taken wrong – not what was meant.Such folks, with power at their command,
A danger are throughout the land,
For they wreak havoc on their troops,
Put soldiers through incessant loops.Lord, for this flaw solution lies
With you, “Field Marshall of the skies” –
You live in us, the law fulfill –
Our righteousness, while loving still.You’d have us do our that and this;
For me, Your photographic “Kiss”
To others as You bid me to;
Expression of the love You do.Insults? You laughed them off, and said,
“Not Holy Spirit – you are led
By Him and walk, so loss is yours –
No guide through all of sin’s allure’s”.And yet your standards are so high –
Dismissing pride, on cross you died
That we might live by living word
To us, from Your apostles heard.Thanks Lord, Your life’s in us today,
As we grow into “Body” way;
Help us mature in standards, love –
Your life through us midst push and shove.Thanks Lord for this.
