Böcker av Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati

The Vedanta: Its Morphology and OntologybyBhaktisiddhanta SarasvatiA lecture delivered on the 24th of August 1933 at the Sri Gaudiya Math, Calcutta, celebrating the appearance day of Srila Bhakti Vinoda Thakura.

With profound respect I come to offer a few words on Relativity and Absolute, which may prove to be conflicting with each other at first sight. But the harmony wanted by both of them should be secured to reach the unique position of the Truth Who has no deviation. The negative idea of our present day experience, through inadequate senses on the temporal plane, does not include the full description of the Absolute Truth, in Whom some other phases cannot have lien to co-share. The synthetic method need not be confused with the analytic process; neither the darkness should be accepted as light to explain our observing stand.

This brochure is not to be considered as a hagiological attempt [narration of the lives and legends of the saints] but an endeavor forinculcating the procedure of following the life of a transcendentaldevotee who had a thoroughly peculiar mood of service of the Absolute, unknown to the vitiated mundane atmosphere. Readers, who are puzzled with the problem of finding out the solution of this ephemeral life, the antecedents and the consequences of which are not stored up, are respectfully solicited to go through these pages, not with a challenging mood but with an approaching aptitude, to be acquainted with the undiscovered track of devotion.
