Excerpt from Hindu Mysticism I have defined mysticism as a belief or a view, but in reality it means much more than that. In the life of the true mystics, beliefs exert a great formative in fluence. They are no mere intellectual registrations of opinions or temporary experiences, but represent the dynamic, the dominant tone of their personality as it develops and perfects itself. Mysticism is not an intellectual theory; it is fundamentally an active, for mative, creative, elevating and ennobling principle of life. I have not here taken note of poems or thoughts involving merely mystical beliefs but have touched only upon those which are the outward expressions of a real inner flowering of life in the persons of those who have tried to live a saintly life of mysticism. (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 About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Hindu Mysticism I know that your noble and cultivated soul will always be eager to receive with cordial hospitality the high ideals, thoughts and attainments of the people of any age and of any country, hut more particularly of India, over the destinies of a part of which your excellency had to preside for some time. Mine is a humble performance, but I feel extremely grateful to you that it was solely through the kind patronage of your excellency that I could avail myself of the opportunities that came and accept the invitations of many foreign universities, at one of which these lectures were delivered. Your generous courtesies, cordiality and sympathetic willingness to help will always endear your name to me, as it will do to many others. By associating this brief account of the mystics of India with your name I am only paying my tribute of respect to you for the high respect that you yourself have for the lofty ideals of humanity. I shall be glad if you will kindly accept this unworthy gift and sometimes think of India, her past greatness and future possibilities.

Excerpt from Mysticism in World Religion It is my conviction that mysticism is of the utmost importance to religion and so to the future of mankind. At a time when religion is met, as never before on a similar scale, with the challenge of materialist philosophy, and when the growth of scientific knowledge of the forces of Nature and the power which this brings with it are a constant temptation to men to neglect the things of the spirit, it is all the more necessary that the inner life should be quickened and renewed. But if the life of religion is to be renewed, there must be a renewal of vision and of understanding; and nothing can be of so much value from this standpoint as the study of the experience and teaching of the mystics.

Excerpt from The Mystic Text Book of "the Hindu Occult Chambers" The Magic and Occultism of India; Hindu and Egyptian Crystal Gazing; The Hindu Magic Mirror These are concealed from him, because he has never developed his Inner or Soul Sight sufficient to realize or know that the most valuable asset in life is to Know Thyself and to see with the Inner or Spiritual Sight. This book gives real instruction and, Indian teachings, as they are known in South India. He who really and truly desires knowledge, and is sincere, faithful and steadfast in his efforts to obtain it, will learn a great deal from this work. The half-brained, lazy, complaining fool, who is always suspicious of others robbing him, will learn nothing here nor from no other book. He who is eternally crying and complaining, is he who disbelieves; and he who disbelieves, that is, has no belief or confidence in himself to learn some thing from a book, is like the fool who complained because he could not see, while at the same time he was standing in his own light. So be careful that you are not guilty of stand ing in your own light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Mystics, Ascetics, and Saints of India: A Study of Sadhuism, With an Account of the Yogis, Sanyasis, Bairagis, and Other Strange Hindu Sectarians In Chapter VIII.\ the principal ascetic sects and their subdivisions are described, the Yogz's, commonly called jogt's, and the yoga system receiving especial attention. In Chapters IX. To XI. The reader is taken into the company of many sadhus I have known, and within the precincts of a few of the monasteries I have visited. Probably these last-named chapters may help to bring European readers into actual touch, as it were, with sadhuism as it exists to-day; and, if so, I shall not regret the time and the trouble, by no means inconsiderable, involved in collecting the particulars which I have embodied in them.

Excerpt from Love in Hindu Literature This is exactly what has been done with regard to Hindu culture history. The archaeologist, Vincent Smith, whose researches have unearthed a host of forgotten Frederick the Greats, Napoleons, Machi avellis, statesmen, generals, and other men of action from the Indian past, makes the following remark in concluding his Early Histoey of India: The most important branch of Indian history is the history of her thought. But is not the history of every other country also in the same sense the history of thought? An unbiassed application of the comparative method would yield the result (1) that Indian history is as great a history of enterprises, adventures, exploits and undertakings. Of a practical worldly character as the history of other peoples, and (2) that the history of other peoples is as great a record of speculation, thought, metaphysics, mysticism etc., as that of the Hindus.
