Godward aspiration...

Great speech, it is just one massive sentence (!!!) and it occupied half-a-page in "Kalyana-Kalpataru":
"The attainment of Divinity (with all the five concomitant parts thereof hereinbefore described) being - consciously or unconsciously - our heart’s one and only real Lakshya (लक्ष्य - Goal and Aspiration), this alone being the Ideal which our heart always keeps hungering, thirsting and panting after the realization of, and Sanatana Dharma being the only system of thought which has ever postulated that Ideal and places that ideal before us to aspire and seek to attain, teleological and ontological considerations make it incontrovertibly clear — and it stands to reason and is in the fitness of things, nay, perfectly, naturally and absolutely inevitable for us to infer herefrom — that Sanatana Dharma is the only path which can possibly fulfil and satisfy this Godward aspiration of our heads and our hearts".
