Excerpt from Passages From the Song Celestial There is but one problem of life; throughout all lands, in all ages, it has been the same. It is the problem of the soul and immortality. From difierence of temperament or race, or both, there have been certain widely divergent lines in the ejfort of ancient India to solve the immemorial secret. Each had its growth and development; each its long line of adherents; each its contro versies, its commentators, its triumphs. In course of time, the difierence between these systems grew more marbed than their agreement, and contro versy overshadowed appreciation. One great tasb of the bhagavad-gitz'i is that of reconciler between these divergent systems, and the revela tion of the truth that they all lead to a single goal
