Note 78 — Chapter X · THE VEDIC HYMNS

G. S. Whitmarsh translation

Max Müller’s words on the subject are as follows: “These two concepts (the infinite, and order and law), which sooner or later must be taken in and minded by every human being, were at first no more than an impulse, but their impulsive force would not rest till it had beaten into the minds of the fathers of our race the deep and indelible impression that ‘all is right,’ and filled them with a hope, and more than a hope, that ‘all will be right.’”—Origin and Growth of Religion, p. 259.
