About Myself
v I express, plainly and openly, thoughts which occur to me, and which strike me as right. This may embarrass a few; to some this may be distasteful; and a few others may even be irritated; however, all that I utter are proven truths and not lies.
v Not that all the people of the world should act according to my wish, but that come what may, surely in politics and in public life, human justice alone not justice as prescribed by any epoch or religion. Should be imposed; such is my desire.
v As far as I am concerned, I was never a partyman. I have always been a man of principles.
v Till the end of my life, I shall never canvas for a vote. I shall not even expect a word of praise from any quarter.
v I am under no necessity to permanently support anyone for gaining selfish ends. I see no wrong at all in supporting that person who does good to us, Who strives for the removal of our social degradation even if he is a foreigner.
Rationalism
v Why is it that a foreigner is required to find out the hieght of Himalays, while we claim to have discovered the Seven Worlds, above and the Seven more below; why is that when we claim to have the ebility expound Lord Nataraja’s Cosmic Dance, the construction of this simple loud speaker in front of us is an enigma; we should really contemplate on these aspects. You should come forward to use reason to enlarge your general knowledege.
v Man is considered superior to other beings in this world, because he has limitless capacity for knowledge, People in other lands have advanced greatly, utilizing this knowledge. But our countrymen owing to lack of use of this knowledge, are abjectly deteriorating. Stating that ours is a land of enlightenment, we build tanks and temples; in other lands, men fly in space and amaze the whole world.
v What we need today is growth of knowledge, in order to advance in every field. Knowledge should have its sway.
v It is through rationality that man’s longevity has been increased and his mortality has been significantly reduced.
Self-Respect
v We are fit to think of `Self-Respect’ only when the notion of superior ans inferior caste is banished from our land.
v He who does not care for dignity, is no better than to a prostitute, however highly educated he is. His education will only endanger those that care for dignity.
v The aim of genuine Self-respect movement is to change whatever appears to be adverse to man’s feelings of self-respect.
v Man must remove by himself his feelings of inferiority, the feeling that he is lesser born than other beings, and attain self-confidence and self-respect.
v Man must hold his personal respect and dignity as precious as his life.
You Decide for Yourselves
v Decide for yourselves as to what you should think of those who say there is God, that He is a the Preserver of Justice and that He is the Protector of All, even after seeing that the practice of untouchability in the form of man being banned from human sight and contact, from walking into the streets, from entering the temples and drawing water from a tank, is rampant in the land and yet that land is spared from being razed by an earthquake, burnt by the fiery lava of a volcano, engulfed in a deluge from the ocean, submerged in the chasm of the earth, or fragmented by thunder-storm.
