Clarify the meaning of this sentence

Krishna brings the Greek way into the Indian world view, for the Indian world view is inclusive. It is this and that, not this or that.

What is the meaning of this sentence? Inclusive - involving everything.

How the world view is inclusive and what it means to have an inclusive world view. Also the next sentence I cannot understand it's meaning.


Please help me to elaborate it's meaning.
