It would be nice to read something like this about the Eastern mind and it's lack of passion. "Passion" is actually a really good word to describe the Western mind, which has been so bent on material progress characteristic of the <em>raja guna</em>. But of course this is not what Tarnas had in mind. Great review! I have read this book and it is excellent for the reasons you have mentioned.
