OUR NATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF THE VEDANTA, HAS SUMMARISED ALL MISFORTUNE, ALL MISERY, AS COMING FROM THAT ONE CAUSE, IGNORANCE



As the philosophy, our national philosophy of the Vedanta, has summarised all misfortune, all misery, as coming from that one cause, ignorance, herein also we must understand that the difficulties that arise between us and the English people are mostly due to that ignorance; we do not know them, they do not know us.
