Cowardice is impotence worse than violence. The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him. A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women.

God's grace and revelation are the monopoly of no race or nation.

Every single act of one who would lead a life of purity should be in the nature of yajna.

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.
