CHAPTER-3.
SECTION-1.
MANTRAM -4. { Supreme knower of Brahmam }
Discussion-3. "Half-understanding ..... dangerous ..... than not knowing at all ...
1. Half-understanding of any religious texts or a scripture is more dangerous than not knowing it at all.
2. It is probably, the half-learned book-worms that have brought about in Bharatham in all religions and others, the tragic tradition that the realized Rishi has, after the Self-Discovery, no work to perform.
3. There are, no doubt, statements to that effect in the scriptures, but therein, any one who is well initiated into the truth of the literature can understand that Mother Sruti has meant only the renunciation of all "desire-prompted egoistic actions."
4. This statement cannot and should not be taken to mean a license of inaction or a merciless indifference to the needs of the times and to the sufferings of the generation.
5. It is only in the interpretation of decadent " Hinduism," given out by a self-indulgent 'Pandita-class' mainly to an audience who are themselves idle and ineffective, that "such a distortion of our noble philosophy has come to be perpetrated and perpetuated."
6. "Renascent Hinduism" cannot and will not willingly allow such a dangerous and ugly ideology to muddy the serene waters of the "UPANISHADIK PHILOSOPHY".
