The chapters included in this book, which comprises the
Hibbert Lectures delivered in Oxford, at Manchester College, during the month
of May 1930, contain also the gleanings of my thoughts on the same subject from
the harvest of many lectures and addresses delivered in different countries of
the world over a considerable period of my life. The fact that one theme runs
through all only proves to me that the Religion of Man has been growing within
my mind as a religious experience and not merely as a philosophical subject. In
fact, a very large portion of my writings, beginning from the earlier products
of my immature youth down to the present time, carry an almost continuous trace
of the history of this growth. To-day I am made conscious of the fact that the
works that I have started and the words that I have uttered are deeply linked
by a unity of inspiration whose proper definition has often remained unrevealed
to me. In the present volume I offer the evidence of my own personal life
brought into a definite focus. To some of my readers this will supply matter of
psychological interest; but for others I hope it will carry with it its own
ideal value important for such a subject as religion. My sincere thanks are due
to the Hibbert Trustees, and especially to Dr. W. H. Drummond, with whom I have
been in constant correspondence, for allowing me to postpone the delivery of
these Hibbert Lectures from the year 1928, when I was too ill to proceed to
Europe, until the summer of 1930. I have also to thank the Trustees for their
very kind permission given to me to present the substance of the lectures in
this book in an enlarged form by dividing the whole subject into chapters
instead of keeping strictly to the lecture form in which they were delivered in
Oxford. May I add that the great kindness of my hostess, Mrs. Drummond, in
Oxford will always remain in my memory along with these lectures as intimately
associated with them? In the Appendix I have gathered together from my own
writings certain parallel passages which bring the reader to the heart of my
main theme. Furthermore, two extracts, which contain historical material of
great value, are from the pen of my esteemed colleague and friend, Professor
Kshitimohan Sen. To him I would express my gratitude for the help he has given
me in bringing before me the religious ideas of medieval India which touch the
subject of my lectures.
