Prabuddha Bharata or Awakened India August 1927

1927

It is Advaita but how realistic how entrancing ! In Sankara however we find the effort to prove the unreality of the phenomenal world more predominant than the enunciation of the glory of the monistic realisation. [...] And after the extremes of the Buddhistic and Jaina philosophies and the plethora of creeds all of which find mention and refutation in the Brahma-Sutras his supreme concern became the systematisation and rationalistion of the conclusions of the Advaita philosophy and their foundation on a strictly logical basis. [...] It is said that the perception of the finite presupposes the perception of the infinite that without the latter the former is impossible. [...] If our present unhappiness is due to our holding on simultaneously to the finite and the ifinite let the fire of our wisdom-eye burn the finite and reveal the untrammelled glory of the infinite in every pulsation of our life. [...] Here it is said the sage Vyasa thirty centuries ago collected the Vedas the most ancient extant scriptures in the world ; and here the Pandava brothers heroes of the Mahabharata halted on their way to Swarga the Celestial Abode to perform austerities.
