THE MODERN AGE OF
REASON GIVING WAY TO
THE ADVENT OF THE NEW AGE
A GREAT AND DIFFICULT TRANSITION
(A Compilation of Passages from
the Writings of Sri Aurobindo)
(References are given at the end of the book. Titles and title
statements or questions are given by the compiler.)
“We talk of democracy, aristocracy and autocracy, collectivism and individualism, imperialism and nationalism, the State and the commune, capitalism and labour; we advance hasty generalisations and make absolute systems which are positively announced today only to be abandoned perforce tomorrow; ....our whole thought and action with regard to our collective life is shallow and empirical; it does not seek for, it does not base itself on a firm, profound and complete knowledge.”
-- Sri Aurobindo
(The Ideal of Human Unity --pp. 261-2)
