Notes
- ↑ Text by G. Skovoroda surrounding and explaining this drawing in the manuscript: “The rich God is like a fountain filling various vessels according to their capacity. Above the fountain is the inscription siya: “Unequal all equality”. Different currents flow from different tubes into different vessels, standing around the fountain. A smaller vessel has less, but in that it is equal to eat more, which is equal to complete. And what is more stupid than the equal equality that fools encroach upon in vain in vain? ” [1]
