True to a disgraceful understanding with the British Government, of which both parties ought to have been ashamed, Golab Singh—to quote Sir Thomas Holdich,—"deserted his Sikh masters and paid for Kashmir with money looted from the Lahore treasury". So it was only "give and take". But these pathetic and miraculous happenings appear more ...

The Life Divine was favourably reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement and Sir Francis Younghusband, an eminent Englishman with a deep interest in philosophy and mysticism, called it 'the greatest book' to come out in his time. He also wrote in a letter to Dilip Kumar Roy at the Ashram:... would be sending Sir Stafford Cripps to India as his personal envoy to negotiate with the Congress and Muslim leaders so that a responsible Central Government could be formed to mobilise Indian resources for fighting the Japanese. He also offered to create a new Indian Union with Dominion Status and with a constitution to be framed by India's own representatives after the War. When Sir Stafford Cripps... in which, as a free nation, her spiritual force will contribute to build for mankind a better and happier life. In this light, I offer my public adhesion, in case it can be of any help in your work.'
