In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development.

Religion must mainly be a matter of principles only. It cannot be a matter of rules. The moment it degenerates into rules, it ceases to be a religion, as it kills responsibility which is an essence of the true religious act.

A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.

Life should be great rather than long.

Learn to live in this world with self-respect.
