“In order to understand mandala disciplines it is necessary to understand the difference between intelligence and intellectualism."
Intelligence is an innate integrity abiding in the soul, and intellectualism is an education of the mind by external study and training. Most mandala diagrams were designed to release internal integrity, whereas the systems of schooling now extant attempt to convert the mind to the acceptance of prevailing doctrines and opinions.
“The purpose of the present book is to emphasize the cultivation of that integrity without which no nation or individual can survive the pressures of a dominant economic materialism".
The only solution to modern dilemmas is what Mohandas Gandhi called ‘the victory of soul power over brute force.’ through the development of meditative disciplines, the sincere person can escape from the shadow of materiality and find the fulfillment of his hopes and aspirations in the light of the ancient way of the sages.
