The Aryan Path May 1948

1948

The light the sun is now a tangible object of a raid a heroic feat whether it he Indra's theft of the food-providing broth-pot or the epedition of Arthur and his warriors to Annwn to the land of youth to secure the pearl-rimmed cauldron which also possesses amongst other properties the reputation of being a vessel of plenty. [...] Thus Vishnu's highest step seems best to apply to the immortal realm of Light—is in fact a land of the immortal dead.' This is borne out by the fact that the Soma is guarded by the Gandharvas 2 those strange creatures who can adopt bird or animal form and who have at the same time ben identified with the host of the spirits of the dead. [...] I write here high up in the mountains of the Alps with the mists swirling around and yet as each gleam of sun conies through the clouds and lights up the meadows and the screes I never cease to wonder at the prodigality of the flowers which cover the ground in a carpet of brilliant colour and seem to live and flower more abundantly for their environment. [...] It is stronger than any man-made colour while the blue of the rare little Eritrichium the King of the Alps is the very quintessence of the bluest of all skies the sky of a summer evening when the sun is fast setting. [...] Synge’s approach in the above article is that of the true scientist entering the temple of Nature with reverence responding to the beauty and the mysteries of the plant world with wonder and with awe.
