\nThe Needed
\nSynthesis<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nWhat is the Synthesis needed at the present time?<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n                
\n<\/span> <\/span><\/b>       U<\/span>NDOUBTEDLY, that of
\nman himself. The harmony of his faculties is the condition of his peace, their
\nmutual understanding and helpfulness the means of his perfection. At war, they
\ndistract the kingdom of his being; the victory of one at the expense of another
\nmaims his self-fulfilment.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\n<\/p>\n


\n         <\/span>The peculiar
\ncharacter of our age is the divorce that has been pronounced between reason and
\nfaith, the logical mind and the intuitive heart. At first, the declaration of
\nwar between them was attended by painful struggles, a faith disturbed or a
\nscepticism dissatisfied. But now their divorce has created exaggerated
\ntendencies which impoverish human life by their mutual exclusiveness, on the one
\nside a negative and destructive critical spirit, on the other an imaginative
\nsentiment which opposes pure instinct and a faith founded on dreams to the
\nsterile fanaticism of the intellect.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n


\n         <\/span>
\nYet a real
\ndivorce is impossible. Science could not move a step without faith and intuition
\nand today it is growing full of dreams. Religion could not stand for a moment if
\nit did not support itself by the intellectual presentation, however inadequate,
\nof profound truths. Today we see it borrowing many of its weapons from the
\narmoury of its opponent. But a right synthesis in virtue of a higher and
\nreconciling truth can alone dissipate their mutual misunderstandings and restore
\nto the race its integral self- development.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n         <\/span>
\nThe synthesis then of religious aspiration and scientific faculty, as a
\nbeginning; and in the resultant progress an integrality also of the inner
\nexistence. Love and knowledge, the delight of the Bhakta and the divine science
\nof the knower of Brahman, have to effect their unity; and both have to recover
\nthe fullness of Life which they tend to banish from them in the austerity of
\nsearch their or the rapture of their ecstasy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nheart and the mind are one universal Deity and neither a mind without a heart
\nnor a heart without a mind is the human ideal. Nor is any perfection sound and
\nreal unless it is also fruitful. The integral divine harmony within, but as its
\nresult a changed earth and a nobler and happier humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n
