________________ ( 281 ) Brahma were two entities; one cannot reach the other without effort. If Karma is accepted, the theory of transmigration of soul is А. necessary corollary. The Brahmaryan spiritualised Brahma is only a projection of the Aryan Tribal Way that finds its expression in the Upanisads. The qualities of the tribal collective and its sole master the Ganapati or Brahmanaspati have been preserved in tact in this new religion. Spiritual Brahma encompasses the whole world as Brahma, the Uuiversal Tribal Collective, did. The member of the Gana was only a part of the tribal machine, not an independent unit. Similarly, men do not get their personal salvation but only merge in Brahma. The division of Brahma in Neuter Brahma and Personal Brahma was a later innovation. The new Brāhmaṇical religion is born. The disintegrating Brahmaryan society developed this new material religion to preserve the integrity of the Brahmāryan society. The naked Brahmaryan materialism is dead but the new doctrine does not represent pure spiritualism. This is perversion of spiritualism. This is spiritual reaction. The Upanisads propagate the Doctrine of Spiritual Reaction. The disintegration of the Brahmaryan society was not of the Semitic or the Greek type. Semitic social disintegration was born of defeat. Greece was small country with a smaller population. The Greekāryans could widely overspread the whole Greece with confidence and courage with little opposition from the original population. But Bhārata was a vast country with widely spread large population. They could not be kept physically subjugated for long. The Brahmaryans, rightly, adopted the policy of assimilation of the original people into their fold by large scale conversion. The problem of the disintegration of the Brahmaryan society was projected by this new social factor. The older way, unchanged, could not persist for long.
