1. The
relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
2. A
great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the
servant of the society.
3. In
Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for
development.
4. Cultivation
of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence.
5. I
measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have
achieved.
6. I
like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
7. We
are Indians, firstly and lastly.
8. 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.
9. For
a successful revolution it is not enough that there is discontent. What is
required is a profound and thorough conviction of the justice, necessity and
importance of political and social rights.
10. Life
should be great rather than long.
11. Men
are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs
watering. Otherwise both will wither and die.
12. A
people and their religion must be judged by social standards based on social
ethics. No other standard would have any meaning if religion is held to be
necessary good for the well-being of the people.
13. What
are we having this liberty for? We are having this liberty in order to reform
our social system, which is full of inequality, discrimination and other
things, which conflict with our fundamental rights.
14. So
long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the
law is of no avail to you.
15. Law
and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets
sick, medicine must be administered.
16. Every
man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is no fit to rule another
country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.
17. Political
tyranny is nothing compared to the social tyranny and a reformer who defies
society is a more courageous man than a politician who defies Government.
18. The
sovereignty of scriptures of all religions must come to an end if we want to
have a united integrated modern India.
19. Indians
today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in
the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty, equality and
fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies them.
20. History
shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with
economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested
themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.
21. Unlike
a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not
lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He
is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development
of his self.
