It may therefore be useful in approaching an ancient Scripture, such as the Veda, Upanishads or Gita, to indicate precisely the spirit in which we approach it & what exactly we think we may der-ive from it that is of value to humanity & its future. First of all, there is undoubtedly a Truth one & eternal which we are seeking, from which all other truth derives, by the libht of which all other tr-uth finds its right place, explanation & relation to the scheme of knowledge. But precisely for that reason it cannot be shut up in a single trenchant formula, it is not likely to be found in its entirety or in all its bearings in any sinhle philosophy or Scripture or uttered altogether & for ever by any one teacher, thinker, prophet or Avatar.
