sources are lost in the miStS of
Aryan Pre-history, a part of
Vedic literature known as the
UpaniShadS remains a living
spiritual tradition to this day.
In them, spiritual knowledge"
is distinguished from material
knowledge" and special stress is
laid on the underlying unity of
all life, the presence in the uni
verse of one great spirit called
the Altman, of which all existence
is part.

The new group is determined,
however. to have enough

owning class.
Until the directions the new

understood here, the United
States is expected to keep a
discreet distance away and
avoid committing itself to
recognition.
