Prabuddha Bharata or Awakened India

Men and women capital and labour the higher castes and the untouchables the Hindus and the Muslims the Westerners and the Easerners the white races and the coloured races are today in deadly grip with each other for the simple reason that the second party to the conflict is demanding its dues in the social poltical economic and religious fields. [...] The sordidness the injustice the unscrupulousness the imorality the corruption in all fields of social and political activity and the violence that have come in the wake of successive world wars are a warning to men that the sheeanchor of spiritual life has been weighed and the ship of personal and social life is drifting to dangerous shoals and heavy seas. [...] 'Everything suffuses everything else and the relations of things to other things to their environment for instance to their past to their future and to the minds that know them literally constitute part of the being or essence of the thing.'9 The dynamic the concrete and the organic nature of Events when fully stressed gives us the concept of the Actual Entity. [...] 'For example the journey of a cart through a street is a part of the whole life of the street; the life of the street extends over the journey of the cart. [...] Similarly the revolution of a wheel of this cart is a part of the event which is constituted by the journey of the cart which extends over the revolution of the wheel.' `An Actual Entity is a process and is not describable in terms of the morphology of a stuff.'" It is a `concrescence'.
