eyes with sleep. But the train of thought that occupied my mind nevertheless continued in subconscious or superconscious state and I fancied as if a Pandit stepped forth and accosted me thus: ‘Listen’, said he, ‘you wished you had a revelation to enable you to know the right path and to dispense with the erring and confused guidance of human reason. Well, there is such God-sent book as that—the most ancient and the most infallible, emanating as it did from the all-wise and Almighty God Brahma Himself. The only reason that makes you doubt the authenticity of a God- sent book seems to be that it contradicts and even controverts other books that also severely claim to be God-inspired; but it only proves that all of them cannot be really so. It does not rule out the possibility of one of them being a really God-inspired Gospel. Well, that real Gospel, that only true revelation, is this ‘Veda.’ If other Gospels contradicted it, it only proves that they are not really reliable. Their refutation of this Veda, the first and foremost word of God, only refutes themselves.’ While our friend, the Pandit had not even finished this exhortation rushed in the High Priest of the Golden Temple at Jerusalem and with a solemn wave of hand brushing aside all the reasoning of the Pandit as you would a cobweb, said, ‘Not so! The real revelation of the Almighty Father that rules this heaven and earth is that which He, our Lord God, stretching his mighty hand out of the burning cloud of fire and flame that surrounded Mount Sinai delivered to Moses on that fateful day. If Vedas were true, Jehova would have at least mentioned them once in that Holy Book. But, on the contrary, he expressly rules out your Molachs and Thors, your Maruts and Varuns. Jehova is a jealous God and bears the presence of no other God before Him. So only obey and reason not. If others contradict his our Holy Testament, they only belie themselves.’ ‘True! True! what my friend says is even so! But, persuasively puts in my friend, the missionary, so meek, so humble, at this stage, ‘but the Law of Moses emanating though it did from the Lord was nevertheless supplemented and fulfilled by a later revelation which even He, our Father in Heaven charged. His son, the Prince of Peace to proclaim, as was even foretold by Moses and the Prophets of old. The Code issued on Mount Sinai was like an angry ordinance of some sullen Sultan meant only for the troublous times, times of emergency when men went astray and sacrificed to Molachs and worshipped the Golden Calves. But the Law of Life, the law as such that brings Peace unto men contained in the sermon on the Mount. The New Testament is the fulfilment of all old revelations.
