I just read this passage from the #Asian Journal of #ThomasMerton and I love it. [I believe he was quoting from "Ramanuja et la mystique vishnouite" by A.M. Esnoul.]
Merton was an American #Trappist #monk, #writer, #theologian, #mystic, #poet, #SocialActivist and #scholar of #ComparativeReligion. He became deeply interested in #EasternReligions, had been studying them closely for some time, then had a chance to travel to Asia. His Asian Journal is his account of that journey and exploration.
