MAY MAKE OF YOU A GREAT INSTRUMENT FOR THE HELP OF MANKIND, AND ESCPECIALLY OF OUR POOR, POOR MOTHERLAND

For our own motherland a junction of the two great systems, Hinduism and Islam — Vedanta brain and Islam body — is the only hope.

I see in my mind's eye the future perfect India rising out of this chaos and strife, glorious and invincible, with Vedanta brain and Islam body.

Ever praying that the Lord may make of you a great instrument for the help of mankind, and especially of our poor, poor motherland.
