The Hindu Temple v1.c6.s1.3

v1.c6.s1.3

As they had done in the beginning, so is required a new and ever renewed sacrifice to build up the body of the Lord of creatures exhausted and dismembered by his sacrifice, and by the sacrifice renew the body, restore the Lord of creatures and keep up the unbroken sequence of an ever renewed universe in the analogy of the year that spends itself in its productiveness and out of its death arises anew. In building up the sacrificial body, the altar, the sacrificer in so doing becomes the very altar itself; he builds for himself a sacrificial body and by doing so he is beyond time and death.⁶
