The
Heavenly Birth brings to deliverance, So shouldn't
thou know! The
birth with Asuras Brings into bondage. Be thou joyous, Prince! Whose
lot is set apart for heavenly Birth. Two stamps there are
marked on all living men, Divine and Undivine; I spake to thee By
what marks thou shouldst know the Heavenly Man, Hear from me now of
the Unheavenly!
They comprehend not, the Unheavenly, How Souls go forth
from Me; nor how they come Back unto Me: nor is there Truth in
these, Nor purity, nor rule of Life. "This world Hath not a
Law, nor Order, nor a Lord," So say they: "nor hath risen
up by Cause Following on Cause, in perfect purposing, But is none
other than a House of Lust."
And, this thing thinking, all those
ruined ones- Of little wit, dark-minded- give themselves To evil
deeds, the curses of their kind. Surrendered to desires insatiable,
Full of deceitfulness, folly, and pride, In blindness cleaving to
their errors, caught Into the sinful course, they trust this lie As
it were true- this lie which leads to death- Finding in
Pleasure all the good which is, And crying "Here it
finished!"
