The search after the universal is the one search of Indian philosophy and religion.
The Jnani aims at the wholeness of things, at that one absolute and generalised Being, knowing which he knows everything.
The Bhakta wishes to realise that one generalised abstract Person, in loving whom he loves the whole universe.
The Yogi wishes to have possession of that one generalised form of power, by controlling which he controls this whole universe.
The Indian mind, throughout its history, has been directed to this kind of singular search after the universal in everything -- in science, in psychology, in love, in philosophy.
