Indian Mysticism is an approach to truth and reality, which can be negatively indicated as non-logical. It is opposed to thinking by cat-egories and, in this sense, differs from philosophy. Philospohy arises from a demand of consistent thinking; Mysticism arises from the demand of life and spirit. Philosophy is an approach to truth through thinking. Mysticism is an approach to truth through life and experience. Mysticism is, in truth, a temper rather than a doctrine, an atmosphere rather than a system of philosophy. It is a form a direct apprehension that can be called mystic intuition.
