It's interesting that Hardy's legacy seems somewhat like an echo of Emanuel Swedenborg's, in the sense that the material sciences occupied both men for the earlier to middle part of their lives, for then an interest in spirituality to occupy them in the latter. And both applying the mental disciplines to this that they had gained from the former. And this is somewhat an echo of the traditional values and life path of an East Indian householder, who attends to family and secular matters for the the same period, for the then hallowed transition to the spiritual quest in twilight years. There's a great interview that your article reminds me of, maybe the most compelling accounting of personal experiences I've seen; it's the interview of "Shaman Oaks", on a youtube channel of the same name, with a guy called Peter Panagore. Seek it out of you get the chance.

Good comparison with the Indian householder. And I will check out Shaman Oaks, thanks!
