"We will have to get rid of the superstition that the cage is bigger than the spread of the wing. Only then will we be able to secure happiness for ourselves. The union of Hindus and Muslims is waiting for that crucial moment of transformation. But there is no reason to take fright at this thought. This is because other nations have already managed to alter themselves through arduous struggle; they have thereby been able to come out of their shells and have been able to stretch their wings. We too must overcome our mental barriers, for if we don't, there will be no future for us."
