OUR OBJECT IS TO DO GOOD TO THE WORLD, AND NOT TRUMPETING OF OUR OWN NAMES


Our object is to do good to the world, and not the trumpeting of our own names. Why doesn't Niranjan (Niranjanananda) learn Pali in Ceylon, and study Buddhist books? I cannot make out what good will come of aimless rambling. Those that have come under his protection, have virtue, wealth, desires, and freedom lying at their feet. — Courage! Everything will come about by degrees
