The text is from "Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 6," which focuses on various lectures and discourses. It outlines the methods and purposes of religion, highlighting two distinct approaches: one from God to man, characteristic of Semitic religions, which emphasizes the concept of God without a clear notion of the soul; and the other from man to God, typical of Aryan traditions, which begins with the exploration of the human soul to understand God. The Aryan perspective fosters an introspective quest for divinity, contrasting with the Semitic focus on divine authority. The text also emphasizes the artistic representation of religious attitudes, often depicting individuals gazing upwards.
