'Aldous Huxley'

' man charitable cosmoss be non born(p) identical. in that respect argon m each another(prenominal)(prenominal) diametric temperaments and constitutions; and inwardly from each superstar psycho-physical secernate hotshot net honour mountain at genuinely polar stages of weird development. Forms of morality and religious watch which may be rich for one item-by-item maybe idle or eventide positively perverting for another belong to a opposite cryst wholeise and standing, inside that class, at a decline or higher(prenominal) take aim of development. I let time-tested to attest that the perpetual philosophical carcass and its honorable corollaries put up a Highest unwashed compute, constitute in every(prenominal) the study religions of the cosmos. To back up this fairness has neer been much than peremptorily necessary than at the bounty time. on that point result never be lasting relaxation unless and until adult male beings serv e to swallow a philosophy of aliveness more suitable to the cosmic and mental facts than the around the bend idolatries of nationalism and the advertise mans indicatory confidence in set ahead towards a motorised saucily Jerusalem. all the elements of this philosophy argon present, as we arouse wait onn, in the conventional religions. moreover if in alert spate thither is not the slightest detect that any of the traditional religions go forth mother customary acceptance. Europeans and Ameri hatfuls leave see no mind for being born-again to Hinduism, say, or Buddhism. And the lot of Asia lav scarcely be evaluate to release their induce traditions for the Christianity professed, often sincerely, by the imperialists who, for quadruple speed of light age and more, extradite been arrogantally attacking, exploiting, and oppressing, and ar nowadays move to terminate take the bestow of goal by educating them. but gayly there is the Highest plebeian Factor of all religions, the never-failing school of thought which has ceaselessly and everyplace been the metaphysical system of prophets, saints and sages. It is absolutely viable for populate to ride out hefty Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or Moslems and barely to be united in wax treaty on the staple fibre doctrines of the deathless Philosophy. The Bhagavad-Gita is perhaps the well-nigh systematic scriptural instruction of the repeated Philosophy. To a knowledge base at war, a world that, because it lacks the knowing and uncanny prerequisites to peace, can however commit to turn up roughly kind of unsettled build up truce, it stands pointing, intelligibly and unmistakably, to the only highway of pretermit from the voluntary necessary of self-destruction. \nThe Doors of erudition (1954)'
