FOREWORD |
|
|
| This is only
what may be expected, for while difficulties of language and idiom can be overcome by
patient scholarship, the complex product of the gradual synthesis of philosophy and social
evolution, that is to say, of the eternal with the ephemeral, which has taken place
through millennia and which reflects vicissitudes of a chequered history, is not easy for
a foreigner to understand or explain. It is hoped
that this book will be found to present in a brief and fairly understandable form the
elements of Hindu faith and ethics, a knowledge of that will enable one to grasp the ethos
of India. Half the population of the world lives in Asia and professes allegiance to
religious and moral ideas that undoubtedly originated in India. Sir Henry Maine has stated
that, barring the blind forces of nature, there was nothing that lived and moved in the
world which was not Hellenic in origin. |
