Description
Radhakrishnan's philosophy is religious in inspiration, religion being defined as the attitude in the maxim: "He that does good is of God." "God," he says" does not think less of people because they are poor or unintelligent. What matters is whether we have been kind to others and honest and sincere with ourselves and in our intimate relations with others." His message of hope and love is the very essence of Hinduism: "When the soul seems dead and all the world a wilderness, when our hearts are dry and brains barren, what brings us hope is not analysis or criticism but love and friendship."
Radhakrishnan speaks with meditative introspection about the world of the spirit. His words bear the impress of his personality. As an interpreter of the East to the West and of the West to the East he is without peer. He reaffirms for our time the faith that unites man to man and man to God.
The present work highlights Radhakrishnans' belief in the essential oneness of religious spirit, his fervent advocacy of tolerance in matters of faith. It is a work for the common man, no less for the scholar. Radhakrishnan's philosophy is religious in inspiration, religion being defined as the attitude in the maxim: "He that does good is of God."
