Page 17 - Building Aryan Character

. . . the question is not

between modernism

and antiquity, but

between an imported

civilisation and the

greater possibilities of

the Indian mind and

nature, not between

the present and the

past, but between the

present and the

future.

It is not a return to the fifth century but an

initiation of the centuries to come, not a

reversion but a break forward away from a

present artificial falsity to her own greater

innate potentialities that is demanded by the

soul, by the SHAKTI OF INDIA.
