All these hereditary craftsmen pursue their trades as a sacred calling, and not for money. The Hindu regards the work to which he is born as a holy duty, to execute which God created him. And whether he come into the world as a priest, a sweeper, or as a member of a criminal caste whose fixed business is plunder or murder, he is bound by all the obligations of religion to continue in the profession of his father for this life. The next time he appears in human shape he will have another caste, ...and a different calling, until he has run through the whole gamut of human existence, and can cease to be. So the " long-limbed, whole- hearted, and dull-headed" villagers have always believed from the dim days long before history concerned itself with them, and so now they con- tinue to go dutifully about their business, follow- ing the traditions of their elders, " confused be- tween facts and fancies, tied and bound by the allegorical practices of a faith the inner meaning of which has long been forgotten.
