Love Of My Country Does Not Demand

The True Vedantic Spirit Does Not Start Out With A System Of Preconceived Ideas. It Possesses Absolute Liberty And Unrivalled Courage Among Religions With Regard To The Facts To Be Observed And The Diverse Hypotheses It Has Laid Down For Their Coordination. Never Having Been Hampered By A Priestly Order, Each Man Has Been Entirely Free To Search Wherever He Pleased For The Spiritual Explanation Of The Spectacle Of The Universe.

If There Is One Place On The Face Of Earth Where All The Dreams Of Living Men Have Found A Home From The Very Earliest Days When Man Began The Dream Of Existence, It Is India.

You Desire A Popular Art? Begin By Having A "people" Whose Minds Are Liberated, A People Not Crushed By Misery And Ceaseless Toil, Not Brutalized By Every Superstition And Every Fanaticism, A People Of Itself, And Victor In The Fight That Is Being Waged Today.

Everyone, Deep Down Within, Carries A Small Cemetery Of Those He Has Loved.

Let Us Return To Our Eagle's Nest In The Himalayas. It Is Waiting For Us, For It Is Ours, Eaglets Of Europe, We Need Not Renounce Any Part Of Our Real Nature...whence We Formerly Took Our Flight.
