23 And Jesus said, The Holy One has said, that all his children shall be free; and every soul is child of God.
24 The sudras shall be free as priest; the farmer shall walk hand in hand with king; for all the world will own the brotherhood of man.
25 O men, arise! be conscious of your powers, for he who wills need not remain a slave.
26 Just live as you would have your brother live; unfold each day as does the flower; for earth is yours, and heaven is yours, and God will bring you to your own.
27 And all the people cried, Show us the way that like the flower we may unfold and come unto our own.
CHAPTER 26.
Jesus at Katak. The car of Jagannath. Jesus reveals to the people the emptiness of Brahmic rites, and how to see God in man. Teaches them the divine law of sacrifice.
In all the cities of Orissa Jesus taught. At Katak, by the river side, he taught, and thousands of the people followed him.
2 One day a car of Jagannath was hauled along by scores of frenzied men, and Jesus said,
3 Behold, a form without a spirit passes by; a body with no soul; a temple with no altar fires.
