"From  the  state  of  affairs  available  today,  we  may  despair  and  fail  even  to  visualise  that  such  a  perfect  spiritual  communion  would  ever  possible  in  the  world,  but  this  seems  to  be  the  pattern  aimed  at  by  our  Bharatheeya  Rishi-s  of  ancient  Bharatham  and  their  prayers  clearly  indicate  to  what  perfections  they  brought  their  visions,  in  their  own  times,  as  facts  realised."
