Chapter 23
Betal rephrases:
"Of the many Brahmin scholars at Gore University in Bengal, Vishwa Shiwami is undoubtedly the most famous. He even knew extinct ancient languages ​​and could write beautiful prose in them-though not much Accurate, but much better than his colleagues. He is well versed in history, theology, Niassa style, and especially in astroevolution. In addition, he speaks many languages ​​and writes a large number of commentaries, Has assiduously studied some difficult works of morality, rhetoric, poetry, etc. written by the venerable philosophers of Gore University. He is kind, not inferior to the most generous Liberty God Karna; It can be compared with the honest King Yohist. He is famous all over the world, whether it is Brahmins, or those who are fat and untidy, lazy, like to chew tongues, flatter, shameless women or mistresses. admire him.

"All of the above is true. Sometimes he doesn't know how to express the word he wants to say in his mother tongue, but he knows that from the earth to the distant sun, moon and those twinkling lights But if you ask him where Greece is, he is puzzled again. He can list every event in strict chronological order for the five or six million years before his birth, but he does not Knowing those things that happened in his own time. Once, he solemnly asked a friend, if a cat is left in the jungle, will it turn into a tiger after a long time?

"Despite this, many professors and students at the school are still in awe of the slovenly dressed Vishwa Shiwomi with his livid face and cloudy eyes.

"What I want to say now is that this wise and devout Brahmin nobleman had four sons who were all raised in a very strict family upbringing. When they first learned how to read, their father taught them to recite prayers When they were four years old, they could read many kinds of hymns and motets; when they were a little older, their father earnestly persuaded them to study religious etiquette and abstract arguments about theology. Their father was their He is always the first and the best teacher, always using the best books to teach the thoughts and words of the sons. He always praises the children behind the scenes, but in public, he often criticizes them openly, so as to cultivate their humility. Mental qualities; he ridiculed their appearance, let them wear coarse clothes, so as to free them from emptiness and arrogance; he taught them to learn to refuse, not to accept other people's banquets casually; he promised gifts to the children but delayed It’s not done, it’s just to let the children know this feeling, and don’t pass this habit on to their offspring in the future; he also usually uses sticks and various vicious words and horrible events to frighten and deter children, asking them to be careful in doing things Be cautious, lest you fall into the abyss, and a mistake will cause eternal hatred.

"When they were six years old, they transferred to Chatuspati School to study the four volumes of scriptures. From early morning, students would gather in the hut to listen to the teacher's lectures and teachings until noon. There were only two scriptures at noon. half hours of rest time, while bathing, eating, sleeping and worship accounted for half. During the short rest period, they never want to be oppressed by endless learning tasks, they will go to entertainment, relax themselves, and they will go to play Some elegant and beneficial activities for young people. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they will recite to the teacher word by word what they have learned by heart, while listening to the teacher's explanation. This will continue until dusk. After that, they will do another pilgrimage , plus eating and drinking, it took about another hour. After that, I continued to study until ten o'clock in the evening to consolidate what I learned that day.

"From their youth, they put their main energy on the study of the Vedas. At this time, they don't need to learn more accurate pronunciation methods and word and sentence structures. As long as they are exposed to these, they are very Boring. The subject of history mainly studies "Indian Chronicle of Brahmanism" instead of Buddhist teachings; the subject of geography is "The Hot Land of Veda", and other geographical knowledge only needs to be paid attention to, and no special effort is required. Note; the subject of law mainly studies the "Code of Manu", but soon after, these purely legal studies were cancelled.

"Obviously, these children have been changed by Yatu Harini, the goddess who likes to play tricks on humans, when they were still in the womb; Nine planets - Shani is in the ninth house.

"Usually when they reached the ripe age of 12, they entered the University of Kas. There, different people studied very different things. As a result, the first of the four children of the Brahmin nobles became a gambler; Two became a bohemian hedonist; the third a thief; the fourth a devout Buddhist, in other words, an absolute atheist."

When Betal spoke of this, King Vikram frowned at his son, as if to imply that it was fortunate that he himself did not demand of his children as religious parents do.The young prince seemed to understand what he meant, as is common among prominent Brahmin families.The prince then asked Betar what the word "atheist" meant.

Vampires say the word is difficult to explain, and there are three or four: first, people who deny the existence of God; second, people who admit that God exists, but deny that they are busy solving human affairs; third, They believe in God and providence, but their positions are not very firm and easily shaken.Likewise, some atheists start to believe in God because they were influenced by dead men or some ignorant thought; plasticity.

In the eyes of atheists, apart from the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and vacuum, nothing else exists.The sage of Patanyari proposed that the universe is constantly evolving. He believed that matter is eternal in time, infinite in space, without beginning and end, and that structure, intelligence and conception are all inherent things. ;according to his theory, the concept of "I am" is not a proof of spirit and matter, but only a mutation of matter; It also violates the laws of physiology; he believes in the material world, but he does not believe in the existence of atomic particles and spherical states; through the analysis of the thoughts and wisdom hidden in the brain, he believes that words express not one thing, but An account of the state of affairs, intellect for man is merely an instinctive act, an organic function of the vital elements of the air; he claims that good and bad are merely expressions of geographical location and chronological order That's all, and pointed out that the reason why something is called "bad" is because it is the opposite of the extreme or a transitional form with "good"; Such a founder, there will be another founder, and then there will be a series of inferences of this and that until it becomes absurd science.

Some people didn't agree with his point of view, so they asked him a question: Before a pair of lovers fall in love, when one party sends many letters and waits for the other's answer, how long does it take for the anxiety and irritability to subside?He said that this was far beyond his arithmetic range, but this man must know that it is inevitable that the final result will take a long time to worry about.He denies inevitability and the existence of prophecy. He does not believe in the miracles of Krishna, because he believes that nature never contradicts its laws. Besides, he has not seen supernatural things happen; Harpraya's declaration on the destruction of the world, said that this world has no beginning, so it has no end; he does not believe that Vishur built the universe, and he does not believe that the long life of man is closely related to reward and punishment; He is willing to receive the light of the sacraments, he recognizes Sattva, Yaga, and Tama (Tama is the natural state of matter, Yaga is the passion given to nature, Satava is virtue, these are the three attributes of matter ), but this is only a property of matter; he believes that things have weight and atomic particles, but it is not the original form of substance.

Faced with his many theories, should we doubt him, or laugh at those absurd people who believe in his theories?In an argument, he is good at using logical and mathematical reasoning to argue, and when answering his "why", he must make a straightforward statement.His mind is full of beliefs about morality and nature, but it is said that he does not believe in religion at all; he accepts the theory of Gautama (Sakyamuni's common name) - on the earth, except for the surrounding air He believed that the core of the earth was an incandescent sphere; he believed that although the events of the creation might prove the existence of a founder, there was no obvious evidence that such a founder existed.Therefore, he has been called a "true" atheist.Once, by chance, Shironi, a "real" theologian asked him: "Who, why did you send you to earth, and what is the purpose?" The young man scoffed at this and said disdainfully : "Neither your incomparable wisdom, nor the infinite void world. Unfortunately, I can't explain this phenomenon." Then, he quoted a theory to answer this question:

Gore has been deeply involved in that extremely dark world, and the short-sighted Shironi is the black hand behind it.

In the end, the four young people were surprised to find that what they had learned in school turned out to be some notorious theories.Religion teacher says:
"There are four kinds of people with different personalities in the world. These four kinds of people are: people who are very obedient and obey the control; people who are good at carrying out orders and doing evil things; people who are neither good nor bad; people who do nothing but do bad things People. According to his observation, a person of the third personality may become a criminal because he ignores the things that should be observed. And you are all the people of the fourth personality."

Then he said to the elder:

"For the subject of controlling gamblers, the book is very detailed: first cut off the gambler's nose, make him known to the public, and then drive him out of the country, so that people can take this as a warning. Because most of the gamblers They all lose more and win less; if they lose, there are two ways to go, one is willing to gamble and admit defeat, and the other is to refuse to pay the bet. The former not only loses money, but also loses face; the latter will lose his social status .So the path left for him is relatively perfect, or he accepts the reprimand - oh, young man, you have set a bad example, you need to change your life - and start anew ; or it will be infamous forever."

After finishing speaking, the religious teacher said to the second criminal:
"Women who wink at men and turn them insane, wise men do not touch; only fools give affection to them, and are deceived, deprived of the pursuit of pleasure, fame, way of life , thinking patterns, and religious beliefs. This can happen because their spiritual mentors have given the wrong advice, or they think of others as people like themselves. As the saying goes, 'A man who loses shame A person who is sensitive does not worry about staining another.' So, young man, you better stop your wrongdoing."

To prove himself right, the young man goes on to quote Lila Shaster quotes from his textbook and advises these older professors to improve their love skills.But they cast him out, because he said: Fate has always favored those who are loose and powerful.

The wise and serious-looking polymaths and religious teachers contradicted him and warned that he would be punished for the theft, possibly by amputation of a hand or by death.And this thief would be a disgrace to the University.They say, "You're like the best robber, and the other robbers take only cheap things, and you steal the best; they steal at night, and you steal during the day." And so on and so on. if.They said he was a guy who had read the thoughts of Charya Widaya, and the purpose of his reading was to promote his religious rituals.So they drove him away.

Later, in order to prove the guilt of the atheists, they spent a total of six hours making statements.But the religious teachers found that all these efforts were in vain.For, it is said, "a man without shame always deceives his opponent as far as he can, and never tires and never yields".He boldly recounts the sins of all leftist religions.He told them that it seemed to him that what they had been practicing was really a fool's religion.He also cites the nasty things the gods do: Yama kicks his own mother, Indra seduces his spiritual guide with his attractive wife, and Lord Shiva associates with lowly women.In short, the young Brahmin was very disrespectful and condescending as he lashed out at his teachers at length.And when they hear some bad words, they will naturally get angry, drive him away from his face, and beat him with sticks.

When these four useless young people went back to see their father, their father was filled with righteous indignation: "These few unprogressive things have spent so much effort in vain to do such a thing that embarrasses me." Their father took the opportunity to let them go out and see the world, and didn't let them back until they actually showed signs of being converted.He said, "They were influenced by bad thoughts in their youth, and they showed some bad behaviors. Thinking about the past, they regret it." In order for them to change the status quo and pursue something, Shiwomi stopped providing them with monthly supplies. Living allowance, and said that if they are willing to go to the nearby Jayasir University to study again, so as to reform themselves and not embarrass the family, then he will ask their uncle to send them the necessary living expenses again.
