290 THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY. [October, 1873. Adhering to what they hear. (xiii. 25.)* By thiB (highest knowledge) they become like me; in a new creation they are not born again ; when all things perish they tremble not. (xiv. 2.) When, after his nature is fully grown, man goes to dissolution, he obtains the pure seats of those who know the highest, (xiv. 14.) In all the Vedas I am to be known, (xv. 15.) (Conf. also Svet.-Upan. v. 6 in Bibl. Ind. vol. XV. p. 63.) The man who, delivered from error, knows me in this way as the highest spirit, he, knowing everything, honours me in every way. (xv. 19.) Sorrow not! for a divine lot art thou born, son of Pandu. (xvi. 5.) Senseless and of small understanding are evil¬ doers, ... given up to thoughts that end in death, (xvi. 9—11.) X Caught in the myriad snares of hope,... they seek to pile up riches by unrighteousness to satisfy their lusts. “This I got to-day, that desire I 6hall obtain to-morrow; I am lord, I shall sacri¬ fice, give gifts, and make merry.’, So speak these blind fools, (xvi. 12,15.) Therefore let the law bo thy rule....If thou know- est that a work is commanded by tho law, do it. (xvi. 24.) That is called a true gift which is given to him who cannot return it. (xvii. 20.) The sacrifice-gift, penance done without faith... is called non-existence, (xvii. 28.) Man attains perfection by honouring, each in his own work, him from whom are all, by whom this universe was spread out. (xviii. 46.) In serving me he learns how great I am, and who I am in reality, (xviii. 55.) This you must tell to no one who is without penance and reverence, is disobedient, nor to the blasphemer, (xviii. 67.)§ Faith cometh by hearing. {Rom. x. 17.) Where I am, there shall also my servant be. {John xii. 26.) Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall bo priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. {Rev. xx. 6.) We know that, if our house of this tabernaclo were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 Cor. v. 1.) Search the scriptures . . . they are they which testify of me. {John, v. 39.) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye . . . may be able . . to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. {Eph. iii. 17-19.)f Let not your heart be troubled! ... In my Father’s house are many mansions ... I go to prepare a place for you. {John, xiv. 1, 2.) Neither were (they) thankful . . . therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts. {Rom. i. 21, 24.) And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do P because I have no room where to bestow my fruits. And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater ; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and bo merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool! this night thy soul shall be required of thee. {Luke, xii. 17-20.) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {Matt. v. 17.) And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee. {Luke, xiv. 14.) Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. {Rom. xiv. 23.) Do all to the glory of God. (1 Cor. x. 31.) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me . . . and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. {John, xiv. 21.) If any man will do his (the Father’s) will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. {John, vii. 17.) Give not that which is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine. {Matt. vii. 6.) • Conf. also iii. si. 31; iv. si. 34, 40; ix. el. 3. t Also 1 Cor. ii. 2. X Conf. with si. 9, Qenesis, vi. 5ff., Matt. rxiv. 12, and L ake, xvii. 26-30. Also on si. 8-11 conf.
