The article is based on the author’s personal and long-year experience gathered while observing and living the life in India. The text addresses the problems and struggles of elites of a society on the crossroads of various civilisations. In addition, it touches upon often contradictory visions of the world and social order, which does not prevent any of them from finding space to perfect specific aspects of spiritual life. In India, we can see very clearly how two planes and two levels of Indian culture – the philosophy of life and the art of life – cross and, at the same time, blend with each other. The most general aspect of these considerations results from the common essence that permeates Indian culture and skills of co-existence. Its contributions to global culture are: a unique view, cognition and evaluation of the world. It also added a more profound interest in mankind than in other cultures, supported by the intellectual effort to explore what conditions its being, and what can decondition that being. As a result of that interest, deepened throughout dozens of centuries, the Indian philosophy proposes a notion of the human being that is wider than in the European tradition. Moreover, it also advances methods and techniques of upbringing of the young generation so that it would manifest a conscious attitude to the tradition and art of life in the broadest meaning of the word, and be able to build a balance between the self – the microworld – and the macroworld in a peaceful and disciplined manner.
