Extract: "See how the Greek scholar fears Upanishads. He does not merely think they are dangerous, he is really surprised to find that interest in them can coexist with sound interpretation. In a tidy word, I daresay, a Greek thinker would be fully explicable from Greek material. The facts are otherwise. The fact is that the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad alone throws more light on what Heraclitus was talking about then all the remains of the other Pre-socratics together." (pg. 201)
