Excerpt from The Upanishads and Life It is becoming increasingly natural to turn to India for material illustrative of philosophical problems. Three-quarters of a century ago Cousin wrote, We are constrained to bow the knee to the philosophy of the East, and to see in the cradle of the human race the native land of the highest philosophy. On all hands the greatness of India's heritage of philosophic thought is being recognised, and vigorous efforts are being made to remove the barriers which centuries of differing custom and environment have placed between the Eastern and the Western mind. Ex oriente lux has become more than a meaningless motto, even though for the Western enquirer clouds of obscurity may still hang low over the eastern horizon.
