independent thinking hinduism-and-buddhism
In Hinduism, conscience, reason and independent thinking have no scope for development.
equality two political
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.
live-life home-economics victory
History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics.
mind proof existence
Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence
motivational men political
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.
attitude men democracy
Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards our fellow men.
modern-india want scripture
The sovereignty of scriptures of all religions must come to an end if we want to have a united integrated modern India.
names humanity would-be
The Hindu civilisation is a diabolical contrivance to enslave humanity. Its proper name would be infamy.
names ideas justice
Justice has always evoked ideas of Equality, of proportion of compensation. In short, Justice is another name of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
struggle rights offering
Lost rights are never regained by appeals to the conscience of the usurpers, but by relentless struggle....goa ts are used for sacrificial offerings and not lions.
soul
Neither god nor soul can save society.
live-life men self
Man is mortal. Everyone has to die some day or the other. But one must resolve to lay down one's life in enriching the noble ideals of self-respect and in bettering one's human life. We are not slaves. Nothing is more disgraceful for a brave man than to live life devoid of self-respect.
spiritual ideas personality
The basic idea underlying religion is to create an atmosphere for the spiritual development of the individual. This being the situation, it is clear that you cannot develop your personality at all in Hinduism.
achieved atmosphere becomes body breaths burden cannot cases drudgery either elevate enriched enthusiasm feels free hope human individual lack lacks leads legitimate life main man mere mind opportunity reason reward sure
Why does a human body become deceased? The reason is that as long as the human body is not free from suffering, mind cannot be happy. If a man lacks enthusiasm, either his body or mind is in a deceased condition.... Now what saps the enthusiasm in man? If there is no enthusiasm, life becomes drudgery - a mere burden to be dragged. Nothing can be achieved if there is no enthusiasm. The main reason for this lack of enthusiasm on the part of a man is that an individual looses the hope of getting an opportunity to elevate himself. Hopelessness leads to lack of enthusiasm. The mind in such cases becomes deceased.... When is enthusiasm created? When one breaths an atmosphere where one is sure of getting the legitimate reward for one's labor, only then one feels enriched by enthusiasm and inspiration.
