- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutra
- Of voluntary death
- Many die too late and some die too early. Still the doctrine sounds strange: 'Die at the right time.'
- Die at the right time: thus Zarathustra teaches.
- To be sure, he who never lived at the right time could hardly die at the right time! Better if he were never to be born! -- thus I advise the superfluous.
- But even the superfluous make a great thing of their dying; yes, even the hollowest nut wants to be cracked.
- Everyone treats death as an important matter: but as yet death is not a festival. As yet, men have not learned to consecrate the fairest festivals.
- I shall show you the consummating death, which shall be a spur and a promise to the living.
- The man consummating his life dies his death triumphantly....
- To die thus is the best death; but the second best is: to die in battle and to squander a great soul.
- But equally hateful to the fighter as to the victor is your grinning death, which comes creeping up like a thief -- and yet comes as master.
- I commend to you my sort of death, voluntary death that comes to me because I wish it.
- And when shall I wish it? -- he who has a goal and an heir wants death at the time most favorable to his goal and his heir....
- Many a one grows too old even for his truths and victories; a toothless mouth has no longer the right to every truth.
- And everyone who wants glory must take leave of honour in good time and practise the difficult art of -- going at the right time....
- I wish preachers of speedy death would come! They would be the fitting storm and shakers of the trees of life! But I hear preached only slow death and patience with all 'earthly things'.
- If one only remained in the desert and far from the good and just! Perhaps he would have learned to live and learned to love the earth -- and laughter as well!...
- That your death may not be a blasphemy against man and the earth, my friends; that is what I beg from the honey of your soul.
- In your death, your spirit and your virtue should still glow like a sunset glow around the earth: otherwise yours is a bad death.
- Thus I want to die myself, that you friends may love the earth more for my sake; and I want to become earth again, that I may have peace in her who bore me.
- Truly, Zarathustra had a goal, he threw his ball: now may you friends be the heirs of my goal, I throw the golden ball to you.
- But best of all I like to see you, too, throwing on the golden ball, my friends! So I shall stay on earth a little longer: forgive me for it!
- ... Thus spake Zarathustra.
