" "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.

None of our philosophers, not excepting Heraclitus, Plato, Kant, or Hegel, has ventured to erect such a spire, never frightened by storms or lightnings. 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 but One, as there will be but One in the end, whether we call it Atman or Brahman.
Additional quotes by Friedrich Max Müller
The translation of the Veda will hereafter tell to a great extent on the fate of India and on the growth of millions of souls in that country. It is the root of their religion, and to show them what the root is, I feel sure, is the only way of uprooting all that has sprung from it during the last 3000 years.
अरुण औपवेसी से उसके सम्बन्धियों ने कहा, ‘आपकी आयु काफी है, आप यज्ञ की अग्नि को स्थापित करें।’ उसने उत्तर दिया : ऐसा कहकर तुम यह कह रहे हो कि मैं अब मौन धारण कर लूँ। क्योंकि जिसने यज्ञ की अग्नि को स्थापित कर लिया है उसे असत्य नहीं बोलना चाहिए और कोई व्यक्ति तभी असत्य नहीं बोलेगा जब वह कुछ बोले ही न, अर्थात मौन रहे। उस सीमा तक सत्य में यज्ञ की अग्नि की सेवा निहित है।
