Synopsis

This is a book about the Indian philosophy of unity, which has its roots in the ancient Upanishads and the teachings of forest-dwelling sages. The author sets out to explore the religious and creative aspects of this philosophy, showing how it has been embedded in India's cultural traditions for centuries. The book delves into the belief that the truth of one's life is determined by their attitude towards the world, and that the highest purpose of existence is to realize one's own self through an expansion of unity and sympathy with the universe. This emphasis on the unity of all things is seen in India's classical literature and art, and is reflected in the country's traditional way of life. The book's unique insights and exploration of the creative aspects of the philosophy of unity make it a valuable resource for those interested in religion, spirituality, and Indian culture. It offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between humanity, divinity, and nature, and serves as a reminder of the timeless truths that can be found in ancient philosophies and worldviews.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It costs me nothing to feel that I am ;it is no burden to me. And yet if the mental, physical, chemical, and other innumerable facts concerning all branches of knowledge which have united in myself could be broken up, they would prove endless. It is some untold mystery of unity in me, that has the simplicity of the infinite and reduces the immense mass of multitude to a single point. This One in me knows the universe of the many. But, in whatever it knows, it knows the One in different aspects. It knows this room only because this room is One to it, in spite of the seeming contradiction of the endless facts contained in the single fact of the room. I ts knowledge of a tree is the knowledge of a unity, which appears in the aspect of a tree. This One in me is creative.
