Jnanadeva and the Warkari Movement/Prof. Dr. Fred Dallmayr
Note 20
...To this extent, the Warkari is a Homo vintor (in the sense of Gabriel Marcel), a wayfarer
whose main concern is the search for the proper "way," and the proper manner of being "on the way."
Gabriel Marcel, Homo Viator, trans., Emma Craufurd (New York: Harper Touchbooks, 1962).

University Press, 1984); Irawati Karve, 'On the Road: A Maharashtrain Pilgrimage," Journal of Asian Studies. Vol. 22 (1962), pp. 13-29. From the vantage of a certain postmodern
"non- foundationalism," journeying has been captured in this motto: 'We secularists, it seems, know where we are going. We're on the road to nowhere.... No illusions about
eternal life." See William E. Connolly, Identity/Difference: Democratic Negotiations of Political Paradox (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 1991), p. 16.
