Alexander's Achievement Was Not The Conquest Of India, But The Feat Of Actually Getting There And His Two Years In India Were More Of A Geographical Expedition Than A Military Campaign. .... A Greek Army Had Reached What They Regarded As The End Of The Earth. They Had Pitted Themselves Against The Ultimate As Bravely As The Yogins Had Struggled To Break Through The Limits Of The Human Psyche.

Western Liberal Humanism Is Not Something That Comes Naturally To Us: Like An Appreciation Of Art Or Poetry, It Has To Be Cultivated. Humanism Is Itself A Religion Without God-not All Religions, Of Course, Are Theistic.

All Religions Are Designed To Teach Us How To Live, Joyfully, Serenely, And Kindly, In The Midst Of Suffering.
