Excerpt from the Introduction :
“SAHAJIYA, A DOCTRINE OF LOVE
Human society, as it is now constituted, can be brought to a state of ideal perfection when there grows in every mind a conception that we all belong primarily to the human race, and that the doctrine we are destined to follow is principally what is the natural religion of man based on an ideal of universal brother-hood. To hold others dear as our own self requires such an adjustment of individuality with relation to other objects of nature that all the heterogeneous elements may appear linked together within the compass of a homogeneous whole. This cannot be etfected by philosophical and metaphysical speculations, or by intellectual beliets in abstract truths, but through the personal realisation of love which is the cement of union. What we now require is a doctrine which should be entirely based on the ideal of love and devoted to the culture of this noble sentiment, so that we can perfectly realise that love is our divine heritage which has imprinted on man the charaoter of a true human being, and that properly cultivated it grows beyond limitations, embracing the whole world with all the ardour of a devoted lover.
For the growth of our spiritual insight of this nature modern thinkers have set their hands to the formulation of doctrines like Positivism, and Humanism as perfect religions for the future.”
