The<br \/>\nRusso-Japanese war, the Chinese Revolution, the constitutional changes in Turkey &amp; Persia and last but most momentous the<br \/>\nrevival however indeterminate as yet of the soul of India, are the really significant events of the young century. In Europe<br \/>\nexcept in its one Asiatic corner there has been no event of corresponding magnitude &amp; importance. The abortive orgy of<br \/>\nrevolutionary fury in Russia, the growth of enormous strikes, the failure of the peace movement, the increase of legislation<br \/>\nstamped with the pressure of a materialistic Socialism, although they may hold in themselves germs of greater things, are so<br \/>\nfar mere indistinct material symptoms of disorganisation &amp; a disease vainly doctored with palliatives, not events of a definite<br \/>\nmovement of new birth &amp; regeneration. The importance of this new tendency lies in the fact that great events in Europe, even<br \/>\nwhen they are outwardly spiritual, have usually an intellectual or social trend &amp; significance, but great events in Asia have<br \/>\neven when they are outwardly intellectual, social or political a spiritual significance. Therefore when Asia once more becomes<br \/>\nthe theatre of the world&#8217;s chief events, it is a sure sign that some great spiritual revolution, perhaps a great age of spirituality is<br \/>\npreparing for humanity.\t\t\t<\/span>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-left: 0pt;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t\t\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-indent: 0pt;line-height: 150%;margin-left: 0pt;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0\">\n\t\t\t<span lang=\"en-gb\" style=\"vertical-align: top\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<font color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\">Page \u2013 394<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/font><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China, Japan and India &nbsp; It is significant of the tendencies of the twentieth century that all its great and typical events should have occurred&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-12-essays-divine-and-human","wpcat-52-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2561\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
