Therefore I appeal to those who feel aggrieved to feel that they have done the right thing in forgetting it and if they have not forgotten I ask them to try to forget the thing; and that is the object lesson to which I wanted to draw your attention if you want to carry this resolution.  Do not carry this resolution only by an acclamation for this resolution, but I want you to accompany the carrying out of this resolution with a faith and resolve which nothing on earth can move.  That you are intent upon getting Swaraj at the earliest possible moment and that you are intent upon getting Swaraj by means that are legitimate, that are honourable and by means that are non-violent, that are peaceful, you have resolved upon, so far you can say to-day.  We cannot give battle to this Government by means of steel, but we can give battle by exercising, what I have so often called, “soul force” and soul force is not the prerogative of one man of a Sanyasi or even a so-called saint.  Soul force is the prerogative of every human being, female or male and therefore I ask my countrymen, if they want to accept this resolution, to accept it with that firm determination and to understand that it is inaugurated under such good and favourable auspices as I have described to you.

In my humble opinion, the Congress will have done the rightest thing, if it unanimously adopts this resolution.  May God grant that you will pass this resolution unanimously, may God grant that you will also have the courage and the ability to carry out the resolution and that within one year.

V. HINDU MOSLEM UNITY

[A dialogue between Editor and reader on the Hindu-Moslem Unity—­Indian Home Rule.]

THE HINDUS AND THE MAHOMEDANS.

EDITOR:  Your last question is a serious one, and yet, on careful consideration, it will be found to be easy of solution.  The question arises because of the presence of the railways of the lawyers, and of the doctors.  We shall presently examine the last two.  We have already considered the railways.  I should, however, like to add that man is so made by nature as to require him to restrict his movements as far as his hands and feet will take him.  If we did not rush about from place to place by means of railways such other maddening conveniences, much of the confusion that arises would be obviated.  Our difficulties are of our own creation.  God set a limit to a man’s locomotive ambition in the construction of his body.  Man immediately proceeded to discover means of overriding the limit.  God gifted man with intellect that he might know his Maker.  Man abused it, so that he might forget his Maker.  I am so constructed that I can only serve my immediate neighbours, but, in my conceit, I pretend to have discovered that I must with my body serve every individual in the Universe.  In thus attempting the impossible, man comes in contact with different natures, different religions, and is utterly confounded.  According to this reasoning, it must be apparent to you that railways are a most dangerous institution.  Man has therefore gone further away from his Maker.
