"The Lord is wise and forgetteth not: He is true and a great husbandman. He first prepareth the ground, then soweth the seed of the true Name. From the name of the one God the nine treasures are produced, and man obtaineth the marks of His favour " (Hymn of Guru Nanak). - MACAULIFFE, The Sikh Religion, Vol. I. p. 263. "Behold a very fair and most resemblant image,-a husbandman casting the seed into the ground; here wheat, there barley, and there again some other of the seeds. Behold one and the same man planting the vine, the apple, and other trees. In just the self-same way doth God sow Immortality in Heaven, and Change on Earth, and Life and Motion in the Universe." - MEAD, Hermes to Asclepius, § 10. |
