35. Thus it is the great Brahma himself, who in the form of Brahmá or creator, spreads and moves throughout the world; and receives afterwards as many different names, as the different phases and forms of that he displays in nature, such as the earth, air &c. 36. All creations move about like the fluctuations of winds, in the spacious firmament of the Divine Mind; which conceives of itself various forms of things in its own imagination. 37. Whatever it imagines in any form or shape, the same receives the very form as a decree of fate; and because these forms are the very images or ideas of the Divine Mind, they are deemed to form the very body of the Deity. 38. In whatever likeness was anything designed at first by the Divine Intellect; it bears the same form and figure of it to this day (and so will it continue to bear for evermore). 39. But as the Divine Mind is all powerful and omniscient, it is able to alter them and make others anew, by its great efforts again (_i.e._ God can unmake what he has made, and make others again). 40. Whenever anything is supposed to have a cause, it is thought also to be subject to the will of that cause; and wherever there is no supposition of a cause, there is no apprehension nor capability of its alteration also. (_i.e._ The world is both as changeable as well as unchangeable, according as it is believed to be made by or selfsame with its Maker). 41. Like vibration in air, the world existed as first in the ideal of the Divine Mind; and as it was an unsubstantiality before, so it continues ever still. 42. They who amass for themselves, the merits or demerits of their pious or impious deeds; reap accordingly the good or bad rewards or results thereof in this life. There are others who are crushed under a thousand calamities, falling upon them like showers of hailstones or the thunderbolts of heaven. CHAPTER CL. TRANSCENDENTAL ADMONITIONS. Argument:--Conversation of the impossibility of the departed soul, to reenter into the former body. The house keeping sage then said as follows:--It was by this kind of reasoning, that my sagely guest expostulated with me, and made <me> acquainted with whatever was worth knowing. 2. I then restrained my guest, to remain longer with me by entreaties; and he consented to abide at mine, which resembled the abode of a dead (ignorant) person. (Those that are dead to reason, are called dead people). 3. The sage that spake to me those edifying words, which were as bright and cooling as moonlight; behold him to be the venerable personage, that is now sitting beside you. 4. He said without my request the following speech, for removal of my ignorance; as if the sacrificial god rose out of fire, being pleased with my sacrifice. 5. Hearing these words of the sage, the huntsman was confounded with wonder; and could not know the sage that expounded the theory of dreaming, now sitting confest before me.
