To injure another creates bondage and hides the truth. Negative virtues are not enough; we have to conquer Maya, and then she will follow us. We only deserve things when they cease to bind us. When the bondage ceases, really and truly, all things come to us. Only those who want nothing are masters of nature.

Through the imparting of moral principles, good behaviour, and education we must make the Chandala come up to the level of the Brahmana.

Truth, purity, and unselfishness wherever these are present, there is no power below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped with these, one individual is able to face the whole universe in opposition.

Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.

There cannot be a cause without an effect, the present must have had its cause in the past and will have its effect in the future.

When we suffer, it is because of our own acts; God is not to be blamed for it.
