Comparative Religion as a distinct subject of study has evoked much interest in recent times. In the three lectures that comprise this book, the author has tried to answer the following three questions: What exactly does Comparative Religion discuss and aim at? What is its method? What are its data? He believes that religions, in spite of their differences, have an underlying unity.
What about this marvelous experience of standing alone, discarding all help, breasting the storms of life, of working without any sense of recompense, without any sense of putrid duty, and of working a whole life, joyful, free -- not goaded on to work like slaves by false human love or ambition?Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
