William James uses the phrase Religious Experience, but it is clear that most of the accounts... of vijnānamaya. Again, it is true, as William James points out, mystical states are transient. But in Yoga proper, this transiency can e gradually removed, and higher states of mysticism can be made permanent. In the yogic language, the state of permanency of the higher and higher states of Yoga is called realisation.

The first book that was published in 1902 is William James' The Varieties of Religious Experience, and the second book, that was written during 1914-21, is Sri Aurobindo's The Synthesis of Yoga. William James uses the phrase Religious Experience, but it is clear that most of the accounts of the experiences given in the book... suprasensuous, supramental realisation of the Transcendent who is beyond all its aspects and the final summit of yogic knowledge which is also the source of all Divine delight and Divine living. William James , in the experiences that he has presented in his book, bring us certain vivid descriptions of certain stages and aspects of the inner yogic life and yogic state and succeeds in inviting us... independent of any religion, the experience of conversion marks a radical point of departure from ordinary life to a truly spiritual life.

"The lives of the saints", writes William James, "are a history of successive renunciations of complication, one form of contact with the outer life being dropped after another, to save the purity of the inner tone." 23 Schopenhauer adds that... the rule of seclusion. Prominent Nationalist leaders like C.R. Das, the poet Tagore, the educationists James H. Cousins and C.R. Reddy, his former pupil K.M.

Cousins noted: "I retain a flavour of gentleness and wisdom, breadth of thought and extent of experience... himself, "felt no call for the I.C.S. and was seeking some way to escape from that bondage...he managed to get himself disqualified for riding without himself rejecting the Service." 12 A friend, James S.

These very names — three of them contemporary — should make one hesitate also to declare that the typically English style is the opposite... compared with Swift has his flourishes, his rhetorical colours and complications. And, apropos of Sparkenbroke , at once the most richly and the most subtly written of Charles Morgan's novels, did not James Agate in the Daily Express describe its author as "probably the most distinguished [living] master of English prose"? Then there is the very recent phenomenon of Lawrence Durrell, poet turned novelist... devoid of the essential poetic touch — the style perhaps which Sir Herbert Read6 in our own day recommends when he praises as the finest prose in the language the Centuries of that Restoration mystic, William Traherne.
