THE SACRED AND THE PROFANE, THE NATURE OF RELIGION
Mircea Eliade
The significance of religious myth, symbolism, and ritual within life and culture.

| 1 |
"All nature is capable of revealing itself as cosmic sacrality. The cosmos in its entirety can become a hierophany."
|
|
| 2 |
"The symbolism of the center is the formative principle not only of countries, cities, temples, and palaces but also of the humblest human dwelling."
|
|
| 3 |
"The sacred is pre-eminently the Real, at once power, efficacity, the source of life and fecundity."
|
|
| 4 |
"A universe comes to birth from its center; it spreads out from a central point that is, as it were, its navel. It is in this way that, according to the Rig Veda (X, 149), the universe was born and developed from a core, a central point."
