HAVE ANY OF YOU GOT THAT MUCT BRAIN IN YOUR HEAD ? IF YOU DO, LET YOUR MIND WORK.


What is wanted is a power of organisation — do you understand me? Have any of you got that much brain in your head? If you do, let your mind work. Brother Tarak, Sharat, and Hari will be able to do it. — has got very little originality, but is a very good workman and persevering — which is an essential necessity, a...nd Shashi (Ramakrishnananda) is executive to a degree. ... We want some disciples —fiery young men — do you see? — intelligent and brave, who dare to go to the jaws of Death, and are ready to swim the ocean across. Do you follow me? We want hundreds like that, both men and women. Try your utmost for that end alone. Make converts right and left, and put them into our purity-drilling machine.
