"Let the pavillions of religion be ground to bits, let the bricks of temples, mosques, ashrams and churches, be burned in blind fire. And upon those heaps of destruction, let lovely flower gardens grow, spreading their fragrance. Let children's schools and study halls grow, for the welfare of humanity."
