Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



Where is the practicality of an education which lets the young enter life only half-ready at best? For they know only one side of the universe--the physical; barely two-thirds of man--the physical and the intellectual parts; and little or nothing of the divine in man and universe. How little they know, for instance, of the troubles which passion, when unbridled and ungoverned, brings them. This does not refer to the physical troubles nor even to those of human relationship, for these are visible enough, but to the unseen psychic troubles inside themselves.
