Europe : “If we consider the past of humanity so far as it is known to us, we find that the interesting periods of human life, the scenes in which it has been most richly lived & has left behind it the most precious fruits, were precisely those ages & countries in which humanity was able to organise itself in little independent centres acting intimately upon each other but not fused into a single unity. Modern Europe owes two-thirds of its civilisation to three such supreme moments of human history, the religious life of the congeries of tribes which called itself Israel &, sub¬sequently, of the little nation of the Jews, the many-sided life of the small Greek city states, the similar, though more restricted, artistic & intellectual life of mediaeval Italy. – There is a story in the Jewish Scriptures which relates that when God wished to show himself to Moses, he could only, owing to the spiritual imperfections of the Jewish prophet, reveal safely to him His hinder parts. Moses would have died if he had seen the front of God; he had not the dharanam, the soul-power to support that tremendous vision. The story well illuminates the character of materialism generally, & to its aggressive modern form, European thought & civilisation, it applies with a quite overwhelming appositeness....” ― “Christ from his cross humanised Europe.” [SABCL 15:263; CWSA-12:58-63; SABCL 17:83]
