- Book Synopsis
- Mysticism is not an intellectual theory, it is fundamentally an active, formative, creative, elevating and ennobling principle of life. According to the author, mysticism means a spiritual grasp of the aims and problems of life in a much more real and ultimate manner than is possible to mere reason. A developing life of mysticism means a gradual ascent in the scale of spiritual values, experience, and spiritual ideals. It is many-sided in its development and as rich and complete as life itself. In all the mystics of the world there is a keen sense of the necessity of purity of mind, contentment, ever alert striving for moral goodness, self-abnegation and one-pointedness in God.
