" Who is that man there dead ? " " He was my son." " Thy son ? Why dost thou not lament him, then ?
Hast thou no love, nor sorrow for the dead ? " "And wherefore sorrow? From the first bright hour When he is born, even to his last dark day, 37 The Brahman's Lesson.
Man's steps are deathward ; everything he does Sets ever that way ; there is no escape.
For the well-doing there is recompense, And for the wicked there is punishment.
Of what avail, when they are gone, are tears ?
They can in nowise... help us, or the dead.
But thou canst help me. Brahman, if thou wilt.
Go straightway to my house, and tell my wife What hath befallen — that my son is dead ; And tell her to prepare my noonday meal." "What manner of man is this?" the Brahman thought, Indignantly: "Insensate, ignorant, blind, He has no human feeling, has no heart." So thinking, he drew near the farmer's house, And called his wife : " Woman, thy son is dead.
Thy husband bade me tell thee this : and add That he is ready for his noonday meal." The dead man's mother barkened to his words As calmly as the sky to winds or waves.
