The Calcutta Review an Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) October 1926

1926

The Gods it explains tried in the beginning in order to defeat the demons to avail themselves of that portion of the ratliantora song which is called udgitha and they worshipped it as the breath in the nostrils. [...] The rejection of the notion that the world may have sprung out of nothing at once bears witness to the scientific instinct of the Indian thinker while not precluding the possibility of metaphysics and religion agreeing with science. [...] Oh the blessing of the ignerance of Physics of Physiology and of Psychology that made it possible for the Indian seer to bring together ithe four phenomena in order to show the anteriority of fire in respect to water in the great unity of Nature! We have here the best illustration of the method of the Upanishads : the laws of Physics may only formally differ from those of Physiology and Psycho [...] Thus from the puerile myth of the origin of the faculty of smelling good and bad odours we pass over in the one and the same text to the broad enlightening myth. [...] The same prince reveals to the famous Brahman Uddalaka Aruni and to lair son Svetaketu the progress of the soul after the death of the body.
