And in this place, the importance of knowledge cannot be ignored. One has to enter a railway platform and watch one of the ever-recurring scenes.

The compartments are crowded more or less. Fresh passengers try to rush into it. The persons, impelled of course by their own comfort, resist the intrusion. Actual fights ensue. Some of them try to get in somehow. They stand for a while.

Those who have comfortable seats are pierced by their own hard heart and they pity and relent. A small space is found for the man who stands. They naturally soon after fall to conversation. They discover soon their mutual friends and relations, and by the time they leave the train, they become the most affectionate of people, and the parting becomes a sorrow. Whereby, was this mutual hate turned into love? It is by knowledge. We are ignorant, all of us, how intimately we are related to each other. We are all god's servants, His children in fact, and may be, we can share in His fellowship. The whole world is ensouled by Him. We are members of His body, says Srikantha.
