First sentence: Throughout academic life I sought to express my experiences and reflections from a position that gave balance to both Eastern and Western cultures. This was rarely an agreeable ground to stand on, I found, for confrontation and exclusivity rather than consideration and engagement seemed more often than not the basis of dialogue between the common layers of both cultures.

Western life has of course been informed, over the last two thousand years, by Christianity, which though not uniform in its theological history and ideas, has been as much concerned with nation building, (e.g. Holy Roman Empire), as with the rubric of religion and with what may be at change within the human person in nature.

Day with Professor Ctibor Votrubec of Prague, together in a garden in South Bohemia, discussing Meister Eckhardt and Gottesfreunde. On his excommunication in 1329, Eckhart remarked: "if the ignorant are not taught they will never learn". In a prefatory note the author says" "In fact the Gita, I think, brings to mind "la phrase de Mozart enfant - je cherche les notes qui s'aiment' , and therein is the joy that reverberates within the spiritual inside of the reader. As for its "interpretation", the Gita in its essence very much resembles the mysterious depths and aura of La Gioconde. Find within it what will best bring you to peace".
Notes: Page 194 et seq. How Krishna presents himself in his own varying state - Highest Lord, Deity, Deity Absolute. from this dialog we understand that God "the all-faced one"
faces in every direction, that is, He is   omnipresent. (IX.II).  The Lord is eternal, invisible (XII.3., VII.24-25) and so forth.
