Now we come to Advaitism, the last and, what we think, the fairest

flower of philosophy and religion that any country in any age has

produced, where human thought attains its highest expression and even

goes beyond the mystery which seems to be impenetrable. This is the

nondualistic Vedantism. It is too abstruse, too elevated to be the

religion of the masses. Even in India, its birthplace, where it has

been ruling supreme for the last three thousand years, it has not

been able to permeate the masses. As we go on we shall find that it

is difficult for even the most thoughtful man and woman in any

country to understand Advaitism.
