Vy three-fold salutation to the Higher Souls who drank deep of the spiritual nectar imperceptible to senses and overcame the poison of harma accumulating from tiine inmemorial.

Proficiency in scriptures is of no avail, eloquence proves harmful and physical sciences come to naught, if the spiritual ambrosia be not tasted.
indeed the sole object of knon:ledge, devotion, austerity and religious rites, is the . illumination of the soul by the removal of all the internal impurities with the help of deep concentration of mind.
. Meditation, silence, penances ard sacred
ceremonies, if not practised with a view to self--realization, vill not be productive of good result. Those ellorts are commendable, that are directed towards the at:ainment of} the goal.
