________________ SPIRITUAL-SCIENTIFIC PERSONALITY! 241 So far as the question of removing poverty and misery is concerned, all the religions are doing their bit in their own ways. In the near future we shall implement such plans as will make available to the people of our country new opportunities for education, self-study, water-supply, selfreliance and employment. Educational institutions which are run by religious bodies must encourage the followers of other religions to be associated with their own institutions. I read in some book that after making an effort for millions of years, God eated the universe and the human race. During the course of development, He established both kinds of tendencies - noble and devil. The mission of Unity of Mind' is to encourage our godly tendencies and help us triumph over our beastly tendencies. God gave us the gift of contemplation and reason so that with their help we may distinguish between these two tendencies and make our choice of conduct accordingly. God will be immensely pleased with this noble-minded effort of yours and crores of people in the country will always remain indebted to you.
