Summary

This quote suggests that when we spend too much time dwelling on imagined or imaginary evils or problems, they can eventually manifest and become real.

Caste may be bad. Caste may lead to conduct so gross as to be called man's inhumanity to man. All the same, it must be recognized that the Hindus observe Caste not because they are inhuman or wrong-headed. They observe Caste because they are deeply religious.
