![]() “Swami Sri Yukteswar…Was eminently fitted to discern the underlying unity….Placing the holy Book on the spotless table of his mind, he was able to dissect them with the scalpel of intuitive Reasoning, and to separate interpolations and wrong interpretations of scholars from the truths as originally given by the prophets.” The holy Science demonstrates, by explanation of parallel passages from the Hindu and Christian scriptures, the essential unity of the great religious teachings of East and West. These, although outwardly differing by reason of the variegated cloaks of words, are all expressions – some open and clear, others hidden or symbolic – of the same basic truths of spirit. Their wisdom and spiritual counsel have become the scriptures of the world. “Entering a state of true illumination, nirbikalpa Samadhi, these saints have realized the Supreme reality behind all names and forms. “Prophets of all lands and ages have succeeded in their god-quest,” writes Paramahansa Yogananda in the foreword to the holy Science. He also explains the vast recurring cycles of civilization (yugas), affording a profound understanding of history and the ever-changing Panorama of turbulent world events. Swami Sri Yukteswar girl, the revered Guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, outlines the universal path that every human being must travel to enlightenment. This extraordinary treatise explores parallel passages from the Bible and the Hindu scriptures to reveal the essential unity of all religions.
