For man two wings are necessary. One wing is physical power
and material civilisation; the other is spiritual power and divine
civilisation. With one wing only, flight is impossible. Two wings are
essential. Therefore, no matter how much material civilisation advances, it
cannot attain to perfection except through the uplift of spiritual
civilisation.
