SynopsisExcerpt from The Spinster "We can yet learn even from the old dwellers in Indian forests; not the lesson of cold indifference, but the lesson of viewing objectively, as being in it, yet not of it, the life which surrounds us in the market-place; the lesson of toleration, of human sympathy, of pity, as it was called in Sanskrit, of love, as we call it in English, though seldom conscious of the unfathomable depth of that sacred word. Though living in the forum, and not in the forest, we may yet learn to agree to differ with our neighbour, to love those who hate us on account of our religious convictions, or, at all events, unlearn to hate and persecute those whose own convictions, whose hopes and fears, nay, even whose moral principles, differ from our own. That, too, is forest life, a life worthy of a true forest sage, of a man who knows what man is, what life is, and who has learnt to keep silence in the presence of the Eternal and the Infinite." - Max Muller.
