AY, I WISH THAT FAITH WOULD COME TO EACH OF YOU; AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WOULD STAND UP A GIANT, A WORLD - MOVER WITH GIGANTIC INTELLECT - AN INFINTIE GOD IN EVERY RESPECT


I am the Omnipotent, I am the Omniscient." So repeat these blessed, saving words. Do not say we are weak; we can do anything and everything. What can we not do? Everything can be done by us; we all have the same glorious soul, let us believe in it. Have faith, as Nachiketâ. At the time of his father's sacrifice, faith came unto Nachiketa; ay, I wish that faith would come to each of you; and every one of you would stand up a giant, a world-mover with a gigantic intellect — an infinite God in every respect. That is what I want you to become. This is the strength that you get from the Upanishads, this is the faith that you get from there.
