The Calcutta Review an Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) September 1930

1930

Whatever came to be the disbelief in the persistence of an invsible man 'or soul the language both early and late stating the fact of the transit is always that of a persistent entity : The man-t(huggato) is The bearer of the burden of body and mind ;" he dies and (with or without ' at the breaking up of the body being avoided) is reborn (arises) in such and such a world. [...] It would be of interest to pursue the question both in view of the little animaworship there is in Indian cults the climax attained in the idea of the sanctity.of the individual man Did man when Sakya was born the fact that any world-religion worthy of the name reveals a more and not a less in human possibilities and future and the fact that the decline of Sakya was marked chiefly by just [...] The trouncing is put into the mouth of the Founder and for those who see in the monastic values of the Pitakas the earlier values of the Sakyamuni and his comrades it is a very useful discourse. [...] We see the idea knocking as it were at the door of the strong-hold of being in the words of the progressive teachers of the Upanisads declaring that the fundamental attribute of Deity was not being but "the desire to become." We see it both in their and Gotama's `figure of man's life in its entirety as a way connoting advance in a more a further a new. [...] We see it both in the Milinda and in Hindu treatises lingering on in India as the legacy of the original Sakya but in the transference to Ceylon and final redactions of the Pitakas there the ban of the monk on Beco-ming (bhava) became the authoritative mask under which we have to try to recognise traces of the great New Word which had moved India for a while only centuries before.
