ABSTRACT

The Upaniṣads present the full code of life. Though they are keenly alive to the glory of self-realization, still they present various other aspects of life which are certainly transcended in final realization, but which nevertheless exhibit themselves when life is mystically attuned. The final realization presupposes a great preparation, not only intellectually but also morally and spiritually; and it is a secret economy of nature that the highest cannot be installed unless the finest nature in us has been established. Intellectual discipline may decide in favour of one theory of the universe against another, but the conquest of Truth even in small measure requires a unique adaptation which can dispel the crude insistences of our vital and psychic being.
