Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



Buddha of old and Schopenhauer of modern times told men that their misery was inescapable. Neither of them paid one-quarter the attention to his physical body that he paid to his metaphysical reflection. One wonders how much their views might have been modified, if their bodies had been brought by keen and consistent exercise to dynamic vigour and abounding health.
