principle of mechanical explanation. Instead of stopping short of positivistic analysis of the self which ends in condemning it as a mere bundle of discrepancies the student of psychology must adopt the old upanishadic ideal. “Let no man try to find out what speech is, let him come to know the speaker ... to find out what the thing seen is, let him come to know the seer . . to find out what sound is ... what taste is .... what action is, let him come to know the agent ...." Such will be the task of the newer philosophy, whose lot it will be to educate the world towards peace. “So training, so working, we willing enter the stream of the working of the Willer of the world and carry on the Willer's work."
To eradicate the evil of war by the Will-to-Peace, to fight the evils of inter-national politics, by the mobilisation of soul-force, to reclaim the sovereignty of the world back to the Prince of Peace, from the clutches of Satan is a message which rings quite familiar to the Indian ear ; for does not the modern prophet of Ind speak the same truth? Let us hope Rachel's cry has not been merely a cry in the wilderness. Let us hope the Sleeping Beauty, the human soul, which is now dormant in the fortress of briar and bushes on account of the wicked fairy, international diplomacy, will once again wake up and be wedded to the Prince of Peace.
