Excerpt from A Short View of Great Questions
HE greatest things in this world are not its rivers, lakes and mountains; not its forests, plains and palaces. None of these can see, feel or love none can think, aspire or dare. Man - who can build palaces, who can conquer the forests and plains, who can read the stars and suns, who can taste of both pain and joy - is the noblest object in this world. The raggedest child in London is greater than St. Paul's; the poorest peasant in France is nobler than the tallest peak of the Alps. Man need not grovel or abase himself. He is older than the city of Rome, older than the Pyramids, older than the Koran or the Bible, older than any book ever written or printed and he will survive them all.
HE man of high and noble character, though he be poor and of humble station, is really rich and great; and he who is possessed of a frivolous, selfish or vicious character, though he have great earthly posses sions, though even he sit upon a throne, is actually a pauper.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the enduring mystery of human existence, exploring the origins and ultimate fate of the human soul. The author challenges the prevailing theories of Materialism, which posits that life begins at birth and ends with death, and Theology, which asserts that a soul is created at birth and survives the physical body. Instead, the author presents a compelling case for Reincarnation, a concept deeply rooted in ancient philosophical and spiritual traditions. Through insightful arguments and a thoughtful examination of the natural world, the author demonstrates how Reincarnation provides a logical and just framework for understanding human life. Key themes include the interconnectedness of all beings, the intrinsic responsibility of each individual for their own character, and the importance of continuous growth and evolution of the soul. This book offers a unique and refreshing perspective on the eternal questions of life and death, inviting readers to consider the enduring nature of the human soul and its journey through time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
