1947

In the Guide Book to Mecca an obscure pamphlet issued in 1865 Burton summarizethe intricacies of the Haj ceremonials : the donning of the ihram ; the inhibtion against cutting the hair and the nails ; the visit to Mother Eve ; the continuous baring of the head ; the exaltation of Here am I ! 0 Allah ! Here am I ! " ; the stoning of the great devil. [...] He was the writer of large-scale expositions of history (The Outline of History) of science ( The Science of Life) of socio-politico-economics (The Work Wealth and Happiness of Mankind) and of politics (The Shape of Things to Come ). These volumes he described as The Bible of the Modern Man."

[...] In the words of the Gita we need to rise from jilana to vijona from knowledge to spiritual discernment or to use the words of Pascal from the order of thought to the order of charity.
