Edited by John Snelling
About this book
In this elegantly phrased, witty and beautifully articulated work, Phiroz Mehta distils the essence of mankind’s attempts to explain the human predicament through myth, religion, philosophy and the sciences.
Revelation and reason have taken us so far. Travelling on requires the total clarity of inner silence. Drawing on the wisdoms gained from almost 70 years as scholar, poet and mystic, Phiroz Mehta shows us the way.
A most important book, and essential reading for anyone seriously concerned with the realisation of holistic consciousness and true awareness of the Self within.
Extracts
Therefore consider carefully, consider peacefully, and see and know that we humans are the heralds of Eternity, for who else on earth but we can sing the Song of Eternal life through all of ever-dying time? Who else on earth but we can unveil the Face of Beauty of the Infinite as we dance our way through the measureless expanses of Space?
To this, verily to this is Man going – to the Infinity and Eternity of Transcendence in Holistic Consciousness – the Love and Wisdom, to the Truth and Beauty of Transcendence.
From chapter 6 of Holistic Consciousness
For us who live as mortals there is only the way of Love and Understanding. Heart speaks to heart, noiselessly. Who loves, hears. Who listens, understands. Listen to the bird singing. It sings naturally. It does not fly to an avian conservatoire; it pays no fees to another bird - a prima donna among birds. It just sings; song happens out of it. It is like the new born baby, who just lives. It is that mysterious wonder, life, which makes the newborn grow.
