Indian philosophy and modern culture Paul Brunton

Beschrijving

The mystical monism of India is presented in relation to the quest for an ultimate reality behind the transient actual evidence in philosophers and scientists of the West. Hindu mystical technique which transcends intellectual experience in realization of the union of the soul with the absolute suggests to the author the possibility of insight into the nature of reality through research into the ‘mystery behind man’, on the assumption that the ‘mind of man is linked to the mind behind creation’ and that ‘man is the key to the universe’. This result might follow but it is also altogether probable that larger knowledge of the nature of man and of his mystical experience might dispel the rosy-tinted clouds of metaphysical idealism.
