The power of the West comes not from lute and rebeck, not from the dancing of unveiled girls, not from the magic of tulip-cheeked enchantresses, not from naked legs and bobbed hair; its solidity springs not from irreligion, its glory derives not from the Latin script. The power of the West comes from science and technology, and with that selfsame flame its lamp is bright. Wisdom derives not from the cut and trim of clothes; the turban is no impediment to science and technology. For science and technology, elegant young sprig, brains are necessary, not European clothes; on this road only keen sight is required, what is needed is not this or that kind of hat. If you have a nimble intellect, that is sufficient; if you have a perceptive mind, that is sufficient. If anyone burns the midnight oil he will find the track of science and technology. None has fixed the bounds of therealm of meaning which is not attained without incessant effort.
