He takes integral experience both in the ontological as well as in the epis temological senses; for, according to him, integral experience is not only a mode of knowing but also a mode of being. Being is to be taken in the sense of both knower and the known.
The deepest convictions by which we live and think and the root principles of our thought and life are not derived from perceptual experience or logical knowledge, but from intuition. Great truths are not proved but seen.
