Mircea Eliade: History of World Religious Thought 3

On one side of the mountain, there is an Oroth sitting on a rocky hill, a long-standing face guarding the entrance of the village, a stern priest's gesture of lighting a sacred fire and raising a agenda before it, all of which are holy. The moment people's earnest hopes and winds are projected, the mere object of stone, woodwork and fire is transformed into a divine being. Likewise, we find a sense of holiness in the cave paintings of the corner ages, in the idealistic and cosmic philosophical systems of India, in a declaration made in the welcome of the end of the world. In other words, to live as a human being is a religious act in itself. The history of world religion shows that religion is not just an old horse stuck in a high-size, intellectual relationship with ordinary humans on earth, or in a highly theological and elaborate form, but rather an organism that breathes in every corner of our lives. It also shows that religion, religious experience and religious thought are the crystals of a vast human mind which cannot be defined as limited language and images. The book has melted the whole history of human religion beyond the time of time, from the corner period to the period of the Reformation, from primitive Western European faith to the Buddhist religion of Tibet. The religious thinkers, whose experience of holiness is reflected in all rituals, all myths, all beliefs, and all the divine ideas, which are as much like the oceans, are melted by hundreds of thousands of years of human life and religious experience.
