- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutra
- Of the virtue that makes small
- I go among this people and let fall many a word; but they know neither how to take nor to keep.
- They are surprised that I have not come to rail at their lusts and vices; and truly, I have not come to warn against pickpockets, either!...
- And when I cry: 'Curse all the cowardly devils within you who would like to whimper and clasp their hands and worship,' then they cry: 'Zarathustra is godless.'
- And this is especially the cry of their teachers of submission; but it is into precisely their ears that I love to shout: Yes! I am Zarathustra the godless!...
- ... This is my sermon for their ears: I am Zarathustra the godless, who says 'Who is more godless than I, that I may rejoice in his teaching?'
- I am Zarathustra the godless: where shall I find my equal? All those who give themselves their own will and renounce all submission, they are my equals....
- But why do I speak where no one has my kind of ears? And so I will shout it out to all the winds:
- You will become smaller and smaller, you small people! You will crumble away, you comfortable people! You will yet perish -- through your many small virtues, through your many small omissions, through your many small submissions!
- Too indulgent, too yielding: that is the state of your soil! But in order to grow big, a tree wants to strike hard roots into hard rocks!...
- 'It is given' -- that is also a doctrine of submission. But I tell you, you comfortable people: it is taken....
- Oh, that you understood my saying: 'Always do what you will -- but first be such as can will!'
- Always love your neighbor as yourselves -- but first be such as love themselves....
- Among this people I am my own forerunner, my own cock-crow through dark lanes.
- But their hour is coming! And mine too is coming! Hourly will they become smaller, poorer, more barren -- poor weeds! Poor soil!
- And soon they shall stand before me like arid grass and steppe, and truly! Weary of themselves -- and longing for fire rather than for water!
- O blessed hour of the lightning! O mystery before noontide! One day I shall turn them into running fire and heralds with tongues of flame -- one day they shall proclaim with tongues of flame: it is coming, it is near, the great noontide!
- ... Thus spake Zarathustra.
