👏👴 A great man is different from an eminent one in In
that he is ready to be the servant of the society.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 Cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of
human existence.
👏👴 Law and order are the medicine of the body
politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.
👏👴 In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking
have no scope for development.
👏👴 We are Indians, firstly and lastly.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 Indifferent-ism is the worst kind of disease that can affect
people.
👏👴 The sovereignty of scriptures of all religions
must come to an end if we want to have a united integrated modern India.
👏👴 Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs
propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and
die.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 Life should be great rather than long.
👏👴 So long as you do not achieve social liberty,
whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 The relationship between husband and wife should
be one of closest friends.
👏👴 I like
the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 You cannot build anything on the foundation of caste. You
cannot build up a nation. You cannot build up a morality.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 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.
👏👴 We are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In
politics, we will have equality and in social and economic rights, we will have
inequality. We must remove this contradiction or else who suffer from this
inequality will blow up the structure.
👏👴 I measure the progress of a community by the degree
of progress which women have achieved.
