This book is a missile sharpened and well aimed at. The
Lord says "to eject the bad and to sustain the good." He comes
into this world again and again. Yes. He comes into this world
when he is engrossed in the fear of total annihilation of the
good. But this good is often eclipsed by currents of evil more
often than in such times of abnormal calamity and the Lord is
oblized to send his agents oftener into this world. There is
one piculiarity in this agency. These agents are small lumi-
naries. sometimes negligible from the point of view of the
world. but potentially they are as great and profound as the
Lord himself, because the Lord has only one missile and that
is the Veda Even the smallest agent he sends out into this
world is fully equipped with that one weapon. Though it is
one weapon. It is thousand-edged,
The semi-non believer is a very piculiar phenomenon.
He is both a scholar and a lay man The difference is so subtle
that you are taken aback to find his disposition as that of a lay
man, but for all appearances and equipments, you know him to
be well-varsed in the sacred lore. Bubdhism has developed
a great philosophy, as engrossing as that of the Vedic religion.
And yet it is a religion for the lay man Who is a lay man and
what is a scholar? What is it that separates the two? Man

of even sages are erring. The debator who has the higher in-

who is more intellectual.
It is ever like this and so Veda must be accepted as the
final judgement. Asthika therefore is defined as one who belie.
