Indian Opinion
Though this article was published more than 100 years back, this article brings out many interesting discussions pertaining to intrinsic human nature and spirit which is relevant even now, though it need not be in the same form as it was in 1909..
We have included the images of the original letter here. There are many interesting sections, and we have captured one here:
"that in every individual a spiritual element is manifested that gives life to all that exists, and that this spiritual element strives to unite with everything of a like nature to itself, and attains this aim through love. This thought appeared in most various forms at different times and places, with varying completeness and clarity. It found expression in Brahmanism, Judaism, Mazdaism (teachings of Zoroaster), in Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and in the writings of the Greek and Roman sages, as well as in Christianity and Mohammedanism."

ReplyDeletea huge thank to you VAL-U-PRO CONSULTING GROUP, LLC - SRIKANTH KIDAMBI
george petrovsky Thank you for your kind words. I try to be an original thinker, but certainly influenced by yesteryear great thinkers. This one was so original, I did not see the need to refine it any further. We will also be sharing the audio format soon for those time-sensitive audio/video preferred individuals.
ReplyDeletePaul NIL thanks Paul for your kind words. I thought what fitting way to share first communication between an established spiritualist and writer, and an upcoming leader on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
