SUMMON ALL YOUR ENERGIES AND SET YOURSELVES TO WORK HEART AND SOUL; THAT WILL REALLY BE HEROIC


Never shall you be able to know anything if you persist in pleading ignorance...... We want something of a higher tone — that will appeal to the intellect of the learned. It won't do merely to get up musical parties and all that. Not only will this festival be his memorial, but also the central union of an intense propaganda of his doctrines. ... All will come in good time. But at times I fret and stamp like a leashed hound. Onward and forward, my old watchword. I am doing well. No use going back to India in a hurry. Summon all your energies and set yourselves to work heart and soul; that will really be heroic.
