... this line of access too can lead to the one universal truth. Three things will remain from the labour of the secularist centuries; truth of the physical world and its importance, the scientific method of knowledge,—which is to induce Nature and Being to reveal their own way of being and proceeding, not hastening to put upon them our own impositions of idea and imagination, adhyāropa ,—and last, ...
... moreover, very respectable.” 28 “There things will remain from the labour of the secularist centuries”, wrote Sri Aurobindo, “truth of the physical world and its importance, the scientific method of knowledge, – which is to induce Nature and Being to reveal their own way of being and proceeding, not hastening to put upon them our own impositions of idea and imagination, – and last, though very ...
