How can our Nation give out of the fulness of the life that is in it,
and how can a new Indian University help in the realisation of this

depend on its world status. This can be secured to it by no artificial
means, nor by any strength in the past; and what is the weakness that
has been paralysing her activities for the accomplishment of any great
scientific work? There must be two different elements, and these must be
evenly balanced. Any excess of either will injure it.
