Présentation de l'éditeur
Thus ancient philosophy took its rise in the relation of the Jlva, the separated or individualised self, to those two constant companions of its life, the two sole guides of all its action Pleasure and Pain, Joy andS orrow, Happiness and Misery, Gladness andS adness. It set a distinct aim before itself, the aim of relieving pain that pain, that master pain, of doubt, uncertainty, and hopelessness, which, while it lasts, poisons the very roots of life, and throws all other pains, even the pains of positive material loss and physical torture, into the shade. And it proceeded straight from pain to the cause of pain, and thence to the remedy. 1T hat philosophy remains and will remain true for ever, but it has to be modelled into ever new forms to meet the needs of the ever changing races of humanity. The more advanced races and classes of the present humanity have, in the march of evolution, and expresses itself as renunciation, self-denial, self-sacrifice, universal love, compassion, devotion and service. Thus indeed it is the alpha and the omega of philosophy, the first word and the last of wisdom, Ve dant a, (B hagavad-G tta, ii. 59). 1S ankhya Karika, 1, andY oga-B ha hya, ii, 15.
