IT IS NOT ONLY THAT WE MUST REVIVE OUR OWN COUNTRY - THAT IS A SMALL MATTER; I AM AN IMAGINATIVE MAN - AND MY IDEA IS TO CONQUEST OF THE WHOLE WORLD

Every one of us ought to have seen that the time had arrived. Everything looks propitious, and Indian thought, philosophical and spiritual, roast once more go over and conquer the world. The problem before us, therefore, is assuming larger proportions every day. It is not only that we must revive our own country — that is a small matter; I am an imaginative man — and my idea is the conquest of the whole world by the Hindu race.
