The Calcutta Review August 1951

1951

Extending all the way from romance in the field of literature to metaphysics in the field of philosophy the Kantiau.doctrine of Transcendentalism was like a new coinage of values. [...] Obviously the link between the two civilizations—the indigenous and the Aryan types—is missing and if archaeology fails to provide a key to the mystery all that we can do is to turn to the myths of the Rig-Veda the oldest religious book of the Indo-Aryans. [...] The water in the pot is the epitome of the ocean as it was in the beginning. [...] Myths are not all of the same type ; yet most of them maintain the same living relations between gods and men and at the same time represent the same rotations of seasons and movements of heavenly bodies the same processes of fertilisation of the soil and growth of crops. [...] A creator in the truest sense of the term he has known to give shape colour rhythm and poetic grace to the passing phases of life and has ithmortalised in stone and granite the spirit of symbolism and his own impressions of vibitting life in both man beast and bird and the rhythm of harmonious perfection which underlies all creation in nature.
