"A very serious danger" continues Dr. Bose "is thus seen to be
threatening the future of India, and to avert it will require the utmost
effort of the people. They have not only to meet the economic crisis but
also to protect the ideals of ancient Aryan civilisation from the
destructive forces that are threatening it.... There is a danger of
regarding the mechanical efficiency as the sole end of life; there is
also the opposite danger of a life of dreaming, bereft of struggle and
activity, the degenerating into parasitic habits of dependence. Only
through the noble call of patriotism can our nation realise the highest
ideals in thought and in action...."[42]
