For Bede Griffiths, The East embodies a feminine principle of non-violence, intuition and sympathy. The West is masculine: aggressive, rational and domineering. Both aspects have been refined in the respective religious traditions – the Vedic and the Judaic. The Christian tradition, if it is to speak meaningfully to the hearts of mankind, must try to marry East and West once again."  Creasing of the book corners with rubbing of the book edges and panels.
