What reading level is The Sadhu: a Study in Mysticism And Practical Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The information and ideas which are communicated to him in Ecstasy are not presented as separate visions but rather as verbal communications from different spirits whom he meets on different occasions within the circuit, so to speak, of the one great constant Vision.
Secondly, the Sadhu is far more concerned than are the Apocalyptic writers to affirm and reaffirm the ineffable character of his experience — the words are words but they are neither heard nor spoken, the sights are seen and yet no...t as if with eyes. " There is no language which will express the things which I see and hear in the spiritual world ; I am like a dumb man who can v ECSTASY AND VISION 141 taste and enjoy the sweets that are given him, but cannot express or explain it to others." He is not only aware, but is urgent to insist, that the sights and words he reports are but a shadowy reflexion of the reality — in other words, that they are essentially symbolic.
Thirdly, Ecstasy to him is not, he says, a dream state — by which he means a state in which haphazard disconnected scenes and events pass meaninglessly by — but a waking state, a state of concentrated capacity of thought, of clearer and more continuous thought than he is capable of in ordinary life.
