The Hindu mandrinks religiously, sleeps religiously,walks religiously, marries religiously,
robs religiously.
Each nation has a missionfor the world.So long as that mission
is not hurt,
that nation lives,despite every difficulty.
But as soon asits mission is destroyed,
the nation collapses.

Now we are not much more moralthan the animals.We are only held down by
the whips of society.
If society said today,I will not punish you if you steal,we should just make a rush
for each others property.It is the policeman
that makes us moral.It is social opinion
that makes us moral,and really,
we are little better than animals.

The majority of sectswill be transient,
and last only as bubbles,because the leaders
are not usuallymen of character.
Perfect love,the heart never reacting,
this is what builds character.

Do not recognizewickedness in others.
Wickedness isignorance, weakness.
What is the good of telling people they are weak?Criticism and destruction
are of no avail.
We must give themsomething higher;tell them of their own
glorious nature,
their birthright.
