This life is a tremendous assertion of freedom

Proselytism is tolerated by Hinduism. Any man, whether he be a Shudra or Chandala, can expound philosophy even to a Brahmin. The truth can be learnt from the lowest individual, no matter to what caste or creed he belongs.

From Him are all name and form; all the animals and men are from Him. He is the one Supreme. He who knows Him becomes free.

Life without death and happiness without misery are contradiction and neither can be found alone, because each of them is a different manifestation of the same thing.

All forms are transitory, that is why all religions say, "God has no form".

The great Vaishnava religion of India has also sprung from a Tamil Pariah - Shathakopa - "who was a dealer in winnowing-fans but was a Yogin all the while".

The older I grow, the more I see behind the idea of the Hindus that man is the greatest of all beings.
