So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.

Equality may be a fiction but nonetheless one must accept it as a governing principle.

Caste is a state of mind. It is a disease of mind. The teachings of the Hindu religion are the root cause of this disease. We practice casteism and we observe Untouchability because we are enjoined to do so by the Hindu religion. A bitter thing cannot be made sweet. The taste of anything can be changed. But poison cannot be changed into nectar.

Freedom of mind is the real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains, is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not free though alive, is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence.

Political tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government.

Law and Order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.

If you believe in living a respectable life, you believe in self-help which is the best help!
