Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

!["I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test.
Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it?
Will it restore him [her to a control over his [her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:givg3amslsq46o3f25ga5esh/bafkreihph4ozfme2iadhcvg2jcexzemiif2xgxmhg2jexeknndhuhx2ewy@jpeg)
