The Track of the Jew through the Ages

That is the spirit of unrestrained and unscrupulous rapacity:
the black, red and golden International are the dreams of the Jewish
"philosophers" from Ezra, Ezekiel and Nehemiah to Marx,
Rothschild and Trotsky.
Before I move on to a new point, I would like to place as a
contrast to the narrow-minded Jewish religion another thought. It is
not the doctrine of Christ, but the thoughts of distant India. Here
too there are sacred books acknowledged as inspired by divinity,
here too the people have decided in the course of their development
on certain images (about which we cannot go into greater detail
here) on the basis of their national character.
From the beginning the entire question of god is presented
to the Indian as a cosmic one and he transfers his soul which is felt
as a divine one into every creature of this world. But from this basis
of the holy books arose full six great religious systems which were
all orthodox and, in addition to them, nine others, which were indeed
considered as heterodox but were nevertheless nowhere persecuted
with strangulations, stonings, etc. Indian thought encompasses every
spiritual life, from a materialism, which yields nothing to ours, to
an immaterialism wherein hardly any justification is granted to the
body as an inconvenient husk.

Eat well and get into debt,
Live the short time merrily
When life is given to you
You only have to endure death,
You will never come back!

But one who in his mind has understood himself as the Self,
How can one want to become ill with longing for the body,
To one whom in the body's abysmal defilement
