Excerpt from The Cosmic Roots of Love
Even in vegetable life they have started. The plant, too, is a sort of society, with varied members united in mutual service and sacrifice. Leaves give their lives for the tree, like good families for the State. The flower is a family, botanists say, with even the wedding Of sexes and parental sacrifice for the Offspring. The flower may not be conscious of its virtues, - and we Often wish that some human families were, in this respect, more like it. But in it the ethical principle is on the way to consciousness.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling exploration into how the concept of love is not only a social construct but a fundamental building block of the universe. Beginning by scrutinizing the evolution of love within humanity from the animal kingdom onward, the author illustrates how love has always been a crucial component in the development of societies. Delving into the beliefs and dogma of major religions, the author elucidates the transformative power of love not only in the lives of individuals but also in the progress of human society as a whole. Reaching back to the earliest moments of creation, the author reveals the presence of unity and cohesion in the most basic elements of nature, and argues that this is the primordial foundation from which the principle of love arises, concluding that the pursuit of love is not merely a noble ambition but is in fact an echo of the universe's earliest stirrings.
