Because I was once responsible for turning a number of eyes towards India in search of light, I now feel morally responsible for turning most of them back homewards again. This is not to be misunderstood, for it is not the same as asking people to ignore India. No! I say that we all should study and digest the Oriental wisdom. But I also say first, that we should not make it our sole and exclusive diet and second, that we should cook, spice, and serve it in a form suitable to our Occidental taste.
