Philosophical crap

"...If all is in truth Sachchidananda, death, suffering, evil, limitation can only be the creations, positive in practical effect, negative in essence, of a distorting consciousness which has fallen from the total and unifying knowledge of itself into some error of division and partial experience... ...The Life Divine justifies how the discordant elements can be reconciled into the image of the divine Unity. Actually what happens is something more than mere reconciliation, for the discordant elements are transfigured into higher terms through a process of transcendence, prior to reconciliation.... ...Transcendence transfigures; it does not reconcile, but rather transmutes opposites into something surpassing them that effaces their oppositions.... "

"...If one distills the essence of all established approaches to realization, then this is all they boil down to. Anything else that I attempt to do would be a movement within consciousness and as long as my center is exclusively within consciousness- i.e within a subject object relationship -I remain vulnerable to sufferring. Doing this sadhana amounts to the wiping away of all frames of reference, which is my only salvation, for every frame of reference, however elevated or exalted, brings about dualism..."

"....The essence of Modernism lies, as I see it, in the use of characteristic methods of a discipline to criticize the discipline itself, not in order to subvert it but in order to entrench it more firmly in its area of competence. Kant used logic to establish the limits of logic, and while he withdrew much from its old jurisdiction, logic was left all the more secure in what there remained to it..."

These are excerpts from just few of the passages which come for Reading comprehension in the verbal section. Trust me, everytime I read any article like the ones given above, I feel like strangling myself to make the pain that starts erupting in my pea-sized brain feel less life-threatening. I dont understand why people try to complicate the already complicated thing called life and to make it worse use really tough words which probably come in these books before they come in the oxford dictionary. Instead of mulling over topics like life and art, I think the authors of these kinda books should just sit at home, drink chilled beer and watch Steven Spielberg movies. That way their brains will be busy trying to make some sense out of the movie. And if they really want to flaunt their vocabulary skills, they can always participate in the International 'scrabble' or 'crossword' tournament. There are people who claim that books like 'The alchemist' (which is one of the two philosophical books I've read and I am grateful to god I am still alive to tell the tale) and 'The secret' have changed their lives. I just fail to understand how a shitty story where the "soul of the caravan speaks to the soul of the desert" can change someone's life. I tried reading "One" by Richard bach but stopped at the 30th page or something just when my brain was about to explode. I could finish "Johnathan livingston seagull" because it was not even 20 pages long, so the threshold was never reached. When I say I finished, I mean I read every word of it, without being able to comprehend even a single sentence. And this is exactly how I solve RCs in the verbal section and unsurprisingly all of them go wrong. Maybe I should wear a blindfold and mark the answers. The chances of getting a right answer would probably be much higher.
