In this sense the living being is the positive energy whereas
the matter is the negative energy. The matter does not deve-
lop wit! out beingin contact with the superior spiritual or anti-
material energy which is directly part and parcel of the
spirit Whole.

Any way the subject matter of this spiritual energy exhi-
bited by living being is undoubtedly very complicated thing for
an ordinary man, The ordinary man is therefore astounded
in the subject. Sometimes he partially understands it through
the imperfect senses and sometimes he fails to know it altoge-
ther. The best thing is therefore to hear the grave subject
matter from the highest authority Sri Krishna or His devotee
representative coming down in the chain of disciplic succes-
sion. Bhagwat Geeta is the essence of all the Upanishads
and Vedanta.

I am glad to note that you have got the highest estimation
for Geeta. Iam just trying to present the conclusion of Geeta
to the world as it isand without any imperfect compromise
with speculative interpretations. We have to Jearn the lessons
of Geeta from the authorised dicipilic succession as it is advised
there in the book (4th Ch.). Unfortunatelv every one not in
that line tries to explain Geeta in his own way and this process
misguided the people. We have to counteract this disruptive
tendency and put them at right.

I shall be very glad if you join my mission (The League of
Devotees) and on receipt of your favourable reply I shall send
you the prospectus. An erudite scholar like you should join
and help in this noble attempt. Your appreciation of India’s
cultural heritage is very much enlivening forme. Let us jointly
distribute this great cultural heritage to the world at large
in an orgnised manner and through the recommended
process of Divine Love propagated by Lord Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu. Please try to help me as far as _ possible.
Awaiting yourreply withinterest. Hope you are well.
