movement will grow; amid the disasters ofthe time more and more eyes are turningtowards her with hope and there is even anincreasing resort not only to her teachings,but to her psychic and spiritual practice.The final dream was a step in evolutionwhich would raise man to a higher and largeconsciousness and begin the solution of theproblems which have perplexed and vexedhim since he first began to think and todream of individual perfection and a perfectsociety. This is still a personal hope and anidea, an ideal which has begun to take holdboth in India and in the West on forwardlookingminds. The difficulties in the way aremore formidable than in any other field ofendeavour, but difficulties were made to beovercome and if the Supreme Will is there,they will overcome. Here too, if thisevolution is to take place, since it mustproceed through a growth of the spirit andthe inner consciousness, the initiative cancome from India and, although the scopemust be universal the central movement maybe hers.Such is the content which I put into thisdate of India’s liberation; whether or howfar this hope will justified depends uponthe new and free India.25 YEARS OF VK RDPVice-President B.
