"The historical presence of Christ and Mohammed, I was saying, is implicative of God. This is the true explanation, if ever, of Christian heresy. The Cathars, when pressed to answer if they did indeed believe in Christ, were not always so sure as when asked if they believed in the Holy Ghost. What is uncertain is an enemy of the people. It is a sort of spiritual Darwinism. Christianity, Islam and Judaism belong here, but Taoism, Buddhism and Vedanta live in the chaos of the present; the present seen as present could never be chaos. That is why Indians wrote no history; even Buddhism was too historical, and therefore too psychological for India. Vedanta triumphed like Mahayana Buddhism - so near to Vedanta - did, and Taoism against Confucianism." (from his novel, The Serpent & The Rope)
