Abstract

This book navigates through adventures with ideas which are constantly changing, transforming the inner life of the author as he reviews his older works, which are revived and given dynamic shape, as if resurrected from the debris of the past, so that except for the past titles, the thoughts are so many emergent Phoenix's of old. The frame of reference carried by each of the chapters is no longer subject to the transcendent Self of the Upanishadic thinkers, nor puzzled by the expression of the 'no Self' of the great Buddhists. Buttressing oneself with all these advanced ideas, if one pursues the core-processes of the first chapter, he will find himself beyond all systems, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, or Western, and will begin to feel that there is no gulf between the ancient traditions and the modern sciences, for, in their advanced aspects, they have to continuously shuffle their cards. The work, as it stands now, is relevant to this age of complexity, and its author is a voyager through the infinite spaces expanding with the shooting stars from the nebular bases, knowing not any destination.
