this great struggle for Swaraj, the Khilafat, and the Punjab only. The path society has trudged on so long everywhere is not the right one. Man himself will have to bring back man from this path full of sorrow and misery. For this has the Man within me aspired to become a real man and for this have I joined the great struggle. Society will be purged of its sin and suffering by penance in the shape of sell-sacrifice by us all. Therefore every true man must prepare to sacrifice himself. My one request to my countrymen is that they retire into the inner reality day in and day out from the outer manifestations of these days. Swaraj and the redress of the Khilafat and Panjab wrongs they will gain undoubtedly, but they will also gain something without compare in this world. I believe firmly that by the self-sacrifice of the men of India will be blessed the man of this world.
The East has always given the West its religion. Today also will it be the religious teacher of the West. Politics will henceforth be based upon religion. It is absolutely necessary therefore, for the whole of Bengal, and specially Midnapur, to take to the Charka. Wherever I may be and however placed, I shall never forget Midnapore.
