India! Wake! And learn from his example the simplicity of forsaking futile ambition of forsaking all that crippled your body and mind of letting them alone in their Vedic mystic glorification Wake!

Asia! Wake! And let those who enslaved your body and mind for so long let them learn from your willingness to forgive that they too have a place in your heart as guests Wake! Asia! Wake!

India! Wake! (Continued in Part One - 7)
