If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered over the greatest problem… - Friedrich Max Müller
" "If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered over the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant, I should point to India. And if I were to ask myself from what literature we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of the Semitic race, the Jewish, may draw the corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human a life... again I should point to India.

Additional quotes by Friedrich Max Müller
जब हम कहते हैं कि वर्षा हो रही है तो उन्होंने कहा कि ‘पर्जन्य’ जल से भरे अपने पात्र को धरती पर उड़ेल रहे हैं। जब हम कहते हैं कि पौ फट रही है तो उन्होंने कहा कि उषा सुन्दरी किसी नृत्यांगना के समान अपनी कला का वैभव बिखेर रही है। हम कहते हैं अब अँधेरा हो गया तो उन्होंने कहा कि सूर्य ने अपने रथ के अश्व खोल दिए। वैदिक कवियों के लिए यह समग्र प्रकृति ही सजीव थी। उसे प्रत्येक कण-कण में देवता की उपस्थिति का अनुभव होता रहता था और उनकी उपस्थिति की इस भावना में धार्मिक एवं नैतिकता के बीज भी विद्यमान थे।
