Be assured that he who worships me perishes not. I am the beginning and the middle and the end of existent things. I will deliver thee from all sin; do not grieve. He who knows me as unborn and without beginning, the mighty Lord of the World, he among mortals is undeluded, he is delivered from all sins. What sacrifice, almsgiving, or austerity is done without faith is evil. That man obtains the perfect state who honours by his proper work him from whom all things have issued, and by whom this All was spread out. NEW TESTAMENT He that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him (John xiv. 21). I am the way, the truth, and the life (John xiv. 6) I am the first and the last (Rev. i. 17). He that dwelleth in Me and I in Him (John vi. 56). I in them and thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one (John xvii. 23). Whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life (John iii. 16). I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and ending (Rev. i. 8). Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee (Matt. ix. 2). This is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent (John xvii, 3). Whatsover is not of faith is sin (Rom. xiv. 23). Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God (1 Cor. x. 31). _OUTLINE OF THE BHAGAVAD-GITA_ The blind old father of the Kauravas asked Sangara to tell him how the battle had gone. He replied that, just as the fighting began, Krishna, the Heaven-Born One, stationed his glorious chariot between the armies and entered into a long conversation, with Arguna, the prince-general of the Pandavas. Said Arguna, "My grief at seeing these kindred peoples at war is beyond bearing, and the omens are unfavourable. I long not for victory, but for peace and for the prosperity of all. Behold, in battle array grandfathers, fathers, sons, friends, and allies. We have resolved to commit a great sin, to slay our kindred and associates, and all for lust of wealth and power."
