Thus reverence for the Vedas was made a cloak for the indulgence of views of all kinds. It is amusing to see the spasmodic fits of reverence that occur, for example, in the systems of Kapila and other philosophers, especially when they want to advance a theory or doctrine which is, on the face of it, anti-Vedic. The rational- ism of Buddhism is perfectly consistent, whereas the rationalism of the six orthodox systems of philosophy is anything bat open and straightforward. The history of Hindu r...eligious thought has been throughout a history of such dubious compromises. Baddhism rendered the cultivation of logic and metaphysics abso- lutely indispensable, and in the six systems an attempt was made to enlist the aid of rationalism in the service of the Brahminical order. But this one thing is clear, that is in these systems of phi- losophy we find the authors not only addressing a select few, by means of enigmatical sutras, instead of the public at large, in plain simple language, but we find them also maintaining the authority of the Vedas without caring much for its doctrine and ritual.
