ABSTRACT

This chapter examines that the sentiment of love is both an epistemological principle that is the principle of notional organization and the constitutive principle of the true, the real cosmos and non-alienated society. There is in nature a certain division of labour which applies to the creation of physical organisms, and which should also be followed in a productive society. This division is twofold: externally different occupations are reduced to one procedural uniformity, to satisfy the multiplicity of desires; and the manner and degree of external specialization is determined by the reduction to an inner specialization, characterized by a single common sentiment. In this way each art becomes free of all admixtures, and is right so long as each art is precisely and entirely that which it is. This principle of separation by singularity of sentiment rather than by activity is readily observable throughout the Saanthana tradition.
