As he acknowledged this God Presence within, the Pilgrim showed forth all the attributes of God—Love, Wisdom, Power, Patience, Diligence, Humility, Tolerance and Forgetfulness of self. As he gave generously of himself in service to other pilgrims he encountered on the way no longer did he think of time nor did he wonder how long until he would dwell in the Promised Land. It was then that the Presence again appeared and spoke with tenderness, “My child, awake! Enter the gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise!”

The pilgrim awoke where he was and gazed with awe at the great Gateway so near at hand, and all that he beheld was more glorious than any of his dreams. For as it is written, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.”
