LACKING IN ZKAL 



In the Upanishads, which are numbered among the Hindu Scriptures, it is written: "By 

 ascetic penance goodness is obtained ; from goodness understanding is reached ; from under- 

 standing the self is obtained, and he who has done that does not return" (Mait. Upan. IV, 

 3). The sturdy beggar shown in the picture does not seem very intent upon the practice of 

 these lofty principles. He toils not, neither does he spin; but he is fed, and not scantily 

 either.
