    Scripture, is an address of Yama, or Death, to a youth, and illustrates Egyptian as well as Hindoo thought :— The careless youth, by lust of gain deceived, Knows but of one world, one life ; to him the Now Alone exists, the Future is a dream. The slayer thinks he slays, the slain Believes himself destroyed ; the thoughts of both Are false. The soul survives, nor kills, nor dies. ’Tis subtler than the subtlest, greater than The greatest ; infinitely small, yet vast : Asleep, yet restless, moving everywhere :— Among the bodies, ever bodiless. Think not to grasp it by the reasoning mind. The wicked ne’er can know it; soul alone Knows soul; to none but soul is soul revealed.
