278 * He who guides is a benefactor. This is the way in which the greatest of all service may be rendered.9 If I can live up to your philosophy, I shall count myself fortunate indeed. " CHAMEN " I have read the book all through once and much of it many times and shall do so again, I expect many times. I really am so awfully glad you sent it to me. You have certainly clarified in mind much that was very hazy before, and I wish I could meet you and perhaps clear up some more, because there are still lots of things in heaven and earth that I should like to get clearer ideas about than I have at present, and you seem to have a way of analysing a complex that brings lots of hidden bits of it to the light that I had not detected the presence of before, although I suppose I ought to have." K. SUNDARA RAGHAVAN " The Thoughts " is a rosary of immaculate and invaluable pearls. They are gems which radiate the Upanishadic truths. The book is the expression, I am sure, of a life truly and nobly lived. I regard it as a guide book in the journey of life. I will keep it as a very constant companion, and find inspiration therefrom hereafter for my acts."
