LEFT SAN STEFANO 241 SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL cardinal notions which are never ques- tioned, and have assumed the force of axioms in Hindu philosophy — viz., the pantheistic notion of the spiritual unity of all sentient beings, and the transmi- gration of souls. Six philosophical systems are recog- nized by orthodox Hindus, which fall, however, into three pairs so closely con- nected that each pair forms a common school of philosophy — viz., "Mimamsa" and "Vedanta," "Sankhya" and "Yoga," "Nyaya" and "Vai'seshika." Nothing certain is as yet known as to their date or order. The tenets of each system are propounded in a manual of concise aphorisms, ascribed to the respective founders, and commented on by numerous writers. The "Vedanta," i. e., "end of the Veda" — as the "Uttara-Mimamsa" ("Later Inquiry") is more commonly called — is the system most closely in accord with the development of religious thought in Brahmanical India. According to this system, God is the omniscient and omnip- otent cause, efficient as well as material, of the world: He is both creator and nature; and at the consummation of things all are resolved into Him. The individual soul is of the same essence as the supreme one; it emanates from Him like one of the sparks that issue from a blazing fire, and ultimately returns to Him. It is not a free agent, but ruled by God ; its activity — the source of its suffering — being solely due to its bodily organs. The "Yoga" school, founded by Patan- jali, accepts the speculative system of the Sankhya witb its 25 principles; but adds thereto a 26th — viz., the "self de- void of attributes," the supreme god of the school, whence the "Yoga" is also called the Theistic Sankhya. SAN STEFANO, TREATY OF, a treaty which put an end to the Russo- Turkish War; concluded March 3, 1878, at San Stefano, a town W. of Constan- tinople and a port on the Sea of Mar- mora.
