Abstract
requisites of an ennobling vision of the human situation and the facts of human social experience, and its impact is felt in the steeringmechanism of individual behaviour. Earthy, sinning and self-seeking humanity is urged into spirituality, purity and altruism, and, caught up in these antinomies and their attendant tensions, each believer must decide for himself how best the good life may be lived in this world (and salvation assured in the next). Resolutions of the dilemma, within and between religions, are various, and have their consequences for conceptions of the relation of the spiritual to the mundane: for example, the life of this world may be entirely discounted, or it may be spiritualized by the conviction that each soul at the threshold of the afterlife is hostage of its worldly deeds.1
