Raja Rao

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

The Indian novelist Raja Rao voiced some interesting insights

concerning the nature of reality and spirituality:

 

"The historical presence of Christ and Mohammed, I was saying, is

implicative of God. This is the true explanation, if ever, of

Christian heresy. The Cathars, when pressed to answer if they did

indeed believe in Christ, were not always so sure as when asked if

they believed in the Holy Ghost. What is uncertain is an enemy of the

people. It is a sort of spiritual Darwinism. Christianity, Islam and

Judaism belong here, but Taoism, Buddhism and Vedanta live in the

chaos of the present; the present seen as present could never be

chaos. That is why Indians wrote no history; even Buddhism was too

historical, and therefore too psychological for India. Vedanta

triumphed like Mahayana Buddhism - so near to Vedanta - did, and

Taoism against Confucianism." (from his novel, The Serpent & The Rope)
