Additional quotes by Friedrich Max Müller
यदि हम यहूदी या सेमेटिक धर्म के हैं, हमारा दर्शन ग्रीक है, हमारी राजनीति रोमन है और यदि हमारी नैतिकता सेक्सन है, तो यह मान लिया जाता है कि ग्रीकों, रोमनों के इतिहास का या ग्रीस से इटली तक और जर्मनी से लेकर इन द्वीपों तक की सभ्यता के प्रवाह का ज्ञान, उदार अर्थात ऐतिहासिक और विवेकपूर्ण शिक्षा का अनिवार्य तत्त्व है।
It is surely astounding that such a system as the Vedanta should have slowly been elaborated by the indefatigable and intrepid thinkers of India thousands of years ago, a system that even now makes us feel giddy as in mounting the last steps of the swaying spire of a Gothic cathedral. None of our philosophers, including Heraclitus, Plato, Kant or Hegel, has ventured to erect such a spire, never frightened by storms or lightning. Stone follows on stone in regular succession after once the first step has been made, after once it has been clearly seen that in the beginning there can have been One, as there will be but One in the end, whether we call it Atman or Brahman.
