There Is No Book In The World

The Spring Of Love Becomes Hidden And Soon Filled Up.

If I Were Asked Under What Sky The Human Mind Has Most Fully Developed Some Of Its Choicest Gifts, Has Most Deeply Pondered On The Greatest Problems Of Life, And Has Found Solutions, I Should Point To India.

The Wise Who Control Their Body, Who Control Their Tongue, The Wise Who Control Their Mind, Are Indeed Well Controlled.

Whatever Sphere Of The Human Mind You May Select For Your Special Study, Whether It Be Language, Or Religion, Or Mythology, Or Philosophy, Whether It Be Laws Or Customs, Primitive Art Or Primitive Science, Everywhere, You Have To Go To India, Whether You Like It Or Not, Because Some Of The Most Valuable And Most Instructive Materials In The History Of Man Are Treasured Up In India, And In India Only.

Would You Say That Any One Sacred Book Is Superior To All Others In The World? ... I Say The New Testament, After That, I Should Place The Koran, Which In Its Moral Teachings, Is Hardly More Than A Later Edition Of The New Testament. Then Would Follow According To My Opinion The Old Testament, The Southern Buddhist Tripitaka, The Tao-te-king Of Laotze, The Kings Of Confucius, The Veda And The Avesta.
