Excerpt from The Path of Vision: Pocket Essays of East and West
Before we admit or question the sincerity and the soundness of this spiritual revival, let - us inquire first what is meant by the spiritual. Does it consist in turning, for guidance and solace, to the Orient, or to Christianity, or to spiritism, or to the So ciety for Psychical Research, or to theoso phy and mystic lore? There is in all these movements of the present day a common desire, to be sure, to turn from materialism, if only for a spell - and for a change. But every definition of the spiritual that they embody differs substantially from the other.

Excerpt from The Path of Vision: Pocket Essays of East and West
Weak and oppressed nations are fundamentally spiritual; strong nations are, as a rule, chiefly materialistic. The one, cherishing religious ideals, soars to certain spiritual heights and now and then produces a seer to justify its languor and indolence; the other, seeking material things, bores into the earth for its treasures and keeps going down, down till its dynamic forces reach an impenetrable sterility and explode in a sudden, terrible reaction. The life of such a nation is symptomatic of a diseased state of the soul. The life of the other undermines, to say the least, its physical strength. The dwarfing tendency is equally potent in both. But a nation without a soul is more grotesque, more hideous than a nation of ascetics.
It is not my purpose to startle and provoke the reader with sweeping generalities, or to bamboozle him with dogmas old in garments new.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book broadens and deepens our perception regarding the relationship between spirituality and our everyday reality. The author's analysis explores the complexities of spirituality and brings into question many of the presuppositions that secular society assumes to be true. The book accomplishes this by examining varied sources, ranging from Eastern philosophy to Judeo-Christian theology to modern science. Ultimately, this book makes the case that true spirituality is a vital source of harmony as well as our most natural state of being. It challenges the reader to examine the role that dogma and consumerism have in shaping our own personal experience of the divine and the ways through which we can break free from such limitations.
