The fate that is born with a man is arbiter of all his acts. Thou, Euthymenes , at Aigina falling into the goddess victory's arms didst win thee hymns of subtle strain: yea and now too to thee, O Pytheas, who art his kinsman of the same stock and followest in his footsteps, doth thy mother's brother honour.
He hath done us no wrong; how then doth he deserves imprisonment? "Bhishma said, 'This wicked son of thine, O Dhritarashtra, hath his hour come. He chooseth evil, not good, though entreated by his well-wishers. Thou also followest in the wake of this wicked wretch of sinful surroundings, who treadeth a thorny path setting at naught the words of his well-wisher.
O thou foremost of victorious men ever devoted to the good of all, conversant as thou art with the timeliness of everything, followest thou religion, wealth, pleasure and salvation dividing thy time judiciously? Examinest thou also, after a survey of thy own strength and weakness, the fourteen possessions of thy foes?
Remember my words when I loose the Powers and thou followest the rent veil of Ayesha through the smitten squadrons of Kaloon. Only what if Atene should dare to murder him? Oh, if she should dare!" "Be comforted," I replied, wondering what she might mean by this loosing of the Powers. "I think that she loves him too well."
The Astronomer In the shadow of the temple my friend and I saw a blind man sitting alone. And my friend said, "Behold the wisest man of our land." Then I left my friend and approached the blind man and greeted him. And we conversed. After a while I said, "Forgive my question; but since when has thou been blind?" "From my birth," he answered. Said I, "And what path of wisdom followest thou?"
Let not the epithet Suta's son attach to thee. Thou art a Partha, endued with great energy." Coming from a great distance, that voice was uttered by Surya himself with paternal affection. O Karna, act according to the words of thy mother. O tiger among men, great good will result to thee if thou fully followest those words."
Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinions of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby. Ofttimes I have heard that it is safer to hearken and to receive counsel than to give it.
"Then will I ride on my way," said the knight, and turning, rode on his way. Then rose the woman to her feet, and followed him. "Wherefore followest thou me," said the knight, "if I may do nothing to serve thee?" "I follow thee," she answered him, "because thou speakest the truth, and because thou art not true." "If thou speakest the truth, in a mystery speakest thou it," said he.
Grace God has exalted, has set it upon the throne, and so made it a king, and given it authority to reign; and thou goest by, and hearest thereof, but wilt not submit thyself thereto, neither thy soul nor thy life; why, what is this more than to flatter God with thy lips, and than to lie unto him with thy tongue? what is this but to count him less wise than thyself? while he seeks glory by that by which thou wilt not glorify him; while he displays his grace before thee in the world from the throne, and as thou goest by, with a nod thou callest it a fine thing, but followest that which leadeth therefrom?
'And wherefore not? rejoined something within me heart or brain or something deeper than either. 'Is thy work unholy? Are thy deeds base? Is thy buying or selling dishonest? Is it all for thyself and nothing for thy fellows? Is it not a lawful calling? Is it, or is it not, of God? If it be of God, and yet he be not present, then surely thy lawful calling thou followest unlawfully."
