For many, the expressions Indian philosophy and Indian religion are
identical. And then, there is a contention which comes from the
modern ideas of pragmatism; the premise of this contention is that
the study of orthodox Indian philosophy is irrelevant in this
modern age of rationalism. The truth is otherwise; it is doubtful
if one can find an equivalent of the ever-fresh utterances of the
Vedas, the thought-provoking concepts of the Upanishads, the
metaphysical doctrines of the 'darshanas', the deep psychological
analysis of the Buddhism, and the ethical pragmatism of the
Jainism, in any other scriptures of the world. The fact is that the
study of Indian philosophy demands a spiritual awakening and a
certain kind of patience which is rather anachronistic in the fast,
materialistic, overtly impatient, modern way of thinking. The study
of old Indian philosophical thought carries rewards that are
intrinsic, rather than utilitarian; besides being therapeutic for
the reader.
