Semitic Quotes

“If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered over the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant, I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of the Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw the corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human a life... again I should point to India.”

“They were incorrigibly children of the idea, feckless and color-blind, for whom body and spirit were forever and inevitably opposed.
The Semitic mind was strange and dark full of depressions and exaltations, lacking in rule, but with more of ardor and more fertile in belief than any other in the world. They were people of starts, for whom the abstract was the strongest motive, the process of infinite courage and variety, and the end nothing. The were unstable as water, and like water would perhaps finally prevail.”

“We get two aspects – Non-Aryan - Semitic culture; and the primordial region – Aryan cult. One is dualism, another is one-ism. What happens in the Aryan cult? A man is transformed into God and the whole human race bear its proof. Whatever you term it as Aryan cult or Supreme cult, it is the same. This is a cult and what does it do? The life force of a human body is manifested through spontaneous evolution and envelops the whole human race.”
