Quotes[edit]
- Truth is for Hinduism an indivisible treasure; spiritual immediacy IS widely distributed, the mystic path is open to everyone. In its purest forms, this religion becomes a type of wisdom., that wisdom which impressed the ancient Greeks when they visited India and which could be of some fruitfulness again for our blase cultures. It IS as wisdom that we should like to define Hinduism rather than by the equivocal term spirituality.
