2. Adharma
Is It Religion ?
Man, what does your religion teach you ? Does it teach you to stab and kill little innocent children ? Does It teach 'you to molest your daughters and sisters ? Does it teach you to strangle others to death ? Does it teach you to set fire to others' houses ? If it is so, kick away such a religion, shatter it into pieces. Such a religion has no right to exist even for a moment.
Noble and Ignoble Men
He who relieves others of their suffering is a noble man, He alone deserves our praise and recognition who is ever prepared to suffer to any extent for the good of others. He should be prepared even to lay down his life, if need be. The man who does not relieve the sufferings of others, even while he has the power and capacity to do so is an ignoble man, a great sinner.
"This is also Sin
It is indeed a sin to persecute others, but it is equally a sin to bear persecution tamely and to submit before the persecuter. Persecution in every form must be opposed.
