27 The precepts and the laws of Zarathustra are preserved in the Avesta which you can read and make your own.
28 But you must know that words are naught till they are made alive; until the lessons they contain become a part of head and heart.
29 Now truth is one; but no one knows the truth until he is the truth. It is recorded in an ancient book,
30 Truth is the leavening power of God; it can transmute the all of life into itself; and when the all of life is truth, then man is truth.
CHAPTER 11.
Elihu’s lessons. Buddhism and the precepts of Buddha. The mysteries of Egypt.
Again Elihu taught; he said, The Indian priests became corrupt; Brahm was forgotten in the streets; the rights of men were trampled in the dust.
2 And then a mighty master came, a Buddha of enlightenment, who turned away from wealth and all the honors of the world, and found the Silence in the quiet groves and caves; and he was blest.
3 He preached a gospel of a higher life, and taught man how to honor man.
4 He had no doctrine of the gods to teach; he just knew man, and so his creed was justice, love and righteousness.
