THE ONE VITAL DUTY INCUMBENT ON YOU, IF YOU REALLY LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, IS THAT YOU MUST STRUGGLE HARD TO BE UP AND DOING.


This is one of our greatest duties, and you will find that the more you work to help others, the more you help yourselves. The one vital duty incumbent on you, if you really love your religion, if you really love your country, is that you must struggle hard to be up and doing, with this one great idea of bringing out the treasures from your closed books and delivering them over to their rightful heirs.
