Religion is being and becoming. Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

Despite the many iniquities that have found entrance into the practices of image-worship as it is in vogue now, I do not condemn it. Ay, where would I have been if I had not been blessed with the dust of the holy feet of that orthodox, image-worshipping Brahmin!

A brave, frank, clean-hearted, courageous and aspiring youth is the only foundation on which the future nation can be built.

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