To say that this self is a part hearts and m the universal self is no relief,-brings no possible worth to the separate self,-for the conception of the universal soul has been arrived at by a similar process of thought. It, too, is nothing but a bare abstraction, deprived of all qualities and attributes and powers. I can see no distinction between the absolute universal soul of Brahmanism and Buddhism, and the Absolute Nothing of Hegel. The usual method of stating the difference between the Christian conception of God and the Hindu conception of the hearts and m of all being is that the one is personal and the other impersonal.
