high or low, only virtuous deeds make this body worthy of worship. On the basis of sex, creed or age, none is worthy of honour. The person, who is honouring and worshipping others, keeps his eyes on the attributes and virtues of such a man.
The more is a man learned, the more is his simplicity in charactor, more he is worthy of trust upon, he will gain the highest respect and honour, because a staunch follower of the path of sublimity is always a worshiper of above noted characteristics. Only such person blessed with such virtual attributes is worthy of honour and respect on this earth, no matter whether he is lame or handicapped: black or with white skin, healthy or unhealthy, a Brahmin or a Sudra. whatever he may be. The worldly human being will not hate such a profound man; but will welcome him with the highest instinct of his body or mind; will serve him to the utmost capacity and all these will make it possible for a common man to realise the importance of such a sublime, noble person and to follow his path. An intelligent man likes to make others virtuous, and so he regularly keeps an eye on the attributes of others.

All the matter and material objects are busy in their own dynamic motion, subject to their own nature. Hence to tell, which is good or bad is not possible. Here the author is very precisely admitting that if any object or place of hatred is there, it is none except the soul of a vile man like him, who is forgetting the goods and adopting the evils. With this thinking a man, like the author, hates only the sins and to none else.
