Text Appearing Before Image:
You intended, O Great 943 Being, that all men should be at least as comfortable asrabbits and deer, lions and wolves, but I have endeavouredto make all who did not agree with me wretched; or,It has been reported upon earth that you, 0 God Eternal,wished all men to be saved, but I have taken care to do myutmost to send all, even those who called themselves yourmessengers, who ventured to think for themselves, to everlast-ing perdition ? Still more awful must be the position ofthose who assume the power of sending their fellow-mortalsto Hell, when they are compelled to utter the damning speech, Oh, Thou Good and Merciful Power, I have spent myexistence in sending all my enemies to your burning lake,and now I have come to look upon their torments ! For ourselves, we cannot realise the idea of conversationsin a future state, but for those who are anthropomorphists,and delight to picture heaven as a pleasaunce, we com-mend the comtemplation of such dialogues as we havedelineated. PLATE I.
Text Appearing After Image:
PLATE II The Supreme Spirit in the act of creation became, by Voga, two-fold, Theright side was male, the left was prakriti. she is of one form with bramah,She is Maya, eternal and imperishable, such as the Spirit, such is the inherentenergy (the sactl) as the faculty of burning is inherent in fire. (Bramah Vaivartta Puranu, Professor Wilson.)
