Therefore the dog began to bark at him and started running all the more fast, This is the relationship between the great social reformers and the public. It is a bitter truth. The ignorant public always reacts like the aforesaid dog towards their great benefactors.

Religion and Socialism
The really good man is he who performs his duties and obligations towards his family, his neighbours, his society and his country with the utmost honesty and sence of responsibility No living being around you should be neglected in any way and at any time. This is the demand of social justice and equity. This has always been the tradition of Indian culture. In the old Indian terminology it is called religion and in modern terminology it is called socialism.
The Basis of Morality
Everybody complains that there is no morality, on honesty and no sincerity in our social dealings today. Indeed, how can we have any high sense of morality or honesty when the feeling of sacrifice and service is fast disappearing from our public life?
