"Heehs has done a masterful job of pulling aside the veils of myth," writes Ellen Daly in a flattering review (The Lives of Sri Aurobindo review EnlightenNext Magazine). The skeptic is firm in his "belief" that there are "veils of myth" that need to be pulled aside and that is his prime task. Conversely, Sri Aurobindo, in all his works, questions this subversive tendency of the human mind, and pleads for overturning such a perspective. Invoking Pascal, one can safely infer that it is much more profitable to start with a Vedic Yes than a Buddhist No. [TNM]
