To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It remains for the Indian stage to do so, for India has in her possession the fullest knowledge of the mystery of life and death, of Nature and Divinity, and out of that knowledge can make a dramatic polaris- ation (if she but will to do so) that will lift the imagination of humanity nearer than it has yet got to the mystery of the universe. The substance of what we have said as to the subject-matter and the construction of- a drama may be summed up in the phrase: The drama can permit no rival ...to itself to occupy the stage at the same time. There can be no divided interests, otherwise the effect will be lost, polarisation will be impossible. A division of interest keeps the outer critical consciousness awake and in a state of reference 36 THE PLAY OF BRAHMA from one interest to another. This is fatal to concentration and the polarisation which Hegel refers to as the means to glimpsing the whence and whither of the cosmic trend is but another name for the Indian yoga towards one-pointedness beyond which the Divine Bliss is reached.
