Hindu Mysticism
Dasgupta S. N. · Motilal Banarsidass
The book is a systematic introduction to Hindu mysticism as it evolved in India through the ages. Mysticism is not an intellectual theory, it is fundamentally an active, formative, creative, elevating and ennobling principle of life. According to the author, mysticism means a spiritual grasp of the aims and problems of life in a much more real and ultimate manner than is possible to mere reason. A developing life of mysticism means a gradual ascent in the scale of spiritual values, experience, and spiritual ideals. It is many-sided in its development and as rich and complete as life itself. In all the mystics of the world there is a keen sense of the necessity of purity of mind, contentment, ever alert striving for moral goodness, self-abnegation and one-pointedness in God.
