Opis: Wisdom of the Rishis - Dutta Guru

Excerpt from Wisdom of the Rishis: Or Works of Pt; Guru Datta, M.A<br><br>The works of Pandit Guru Datta Vidyarthi, M. A. undoubtedly occupy the foremost position in the whole range of Samajic literature that exists in English. In point of sublimity of thought, nobility of conception, beauty and gracefulness of style, breadth and comprehensiveness of vision and force and impressiveness of meaning, the works are simply unsurpassed. Pandit Guru Datta was one of those rare geniuses of whom any civilized country may justly be proud. He died while yet in his youth. His career of usefulness to the Arya Samaj was sadly brief. Being a man of extremely inquisitive and analyzing faculties, no religion except that of the Vedas could satisfy his profoundly philosophical and scientific mind. He accordingly enlisted himself under the banner of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, and evinced a great interest in the advancement of his Vedic mission. The truths of the Vedic Religion, however, did not strike a deep and permanent root in his mind till he had been brought, by the chance of unhappy circumstances, under the magnetising touch of that Great Yogi, Swami Dayananda Saraswati. When the great Rishi was lying seriously ill at Ajmere, he, along with myself, was deputed by the Lahore Arya Samaj to attend upon the Swamiji there. The dying scene of Swamiji, which he was fortunate enough to witness, gave a death-blow to his old cherished sceptic ideas, and inspired in him a spirit that has ever since immortalised his name. He saw, on the one hand, the dreadful disease giving rise to such excruciating pains that even the bravest and mightiest of men, having less insight into the realm of Spirit, would give way under its fearful and cruel onslaughts, and on the other, the Swami's calm, dignified, cheerful and brightened-up face, without the least indication of any sort of suffering or remorse. This singular scene threw a fascinating charm over him; how it affected him cannot be described in words, nor could the Pandit himself explain it. It appears to have taken entire possession of his soul, and transformed him into something far above the ordinary run of humanity.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
