Dear Friends:
This book by Gita Mehta is very popular among travellers to India. It
apparently has in page 18-19, this analysis of 'those who travel
East in search of alleged "wisdom"' (Ankerberg and Weldon's book)..
The early Christian missionaries were not paranoid. Heathens do dabble
in the irrational, and none more elaborately than the Indian heathens,
who have in their long evolution spent a couple of thousand years
cultivating the trascendence of reason, another couple of thousand years
on the denial of reason, and even more milleania on accepting reason, but
rejecting its authenticity. To be cast adrift in this whirlpool of
differing views on the validity of simple mental activity seems a cery
high price to pay for cheap airfares.
With best regards,
Dhruba.
