One of the major trends in Indian religious philosophy is mysticism. Mysticism is not an intellectual theory; it is fundamentally an active, formative, creative, elevating, and ennobling principle of life. According to the author, mysticism means a spiritual grasp of the aims and problems of life in a much more real and ultimate manner than is possible with mere reason. The book briefs on the four main types of mysticism: the Upanishadic, the Yogic, the Buddhist, and the Bhakti.
