A victory which is not prompted by and accomplished through love, compassion and sacrifice is no victory. It is mere barbarity. Real victory: is one that is accomplished without shedding a drop of blood, and which does not generate in the heart of the victor any; feeling of pride, vanity, hatred or contempt for the vanquished. Real victory is prompted by the keen desire to serve the: vanquished and to win his heart. Real victory purifies and elevates both the victor and the vanquished.
The Basic Social Order
The barriers of caste, creed, status and economic: superiority are eating into the vitals of human culture and civilisation. Our culture and civilisation cannot grow and prosper until and unless these barriers of differences between man and man are removed. Therefore it is the duty of every single man and woman to think every morning and evening what he or she can do to eliminate these barriers of differences. Let every man say to himself, "There is no essential difference between man and man. Every man has. equal right to his independent progress and promotion." The. basic tenet of every social order is 'to live and let live.'
'I' and 'Mine'
"I" and "Mine" are the poisons of life. They create fetters which man cannot break off. They keep the man bound in the narrow circle of "Seif”.

But as soon as these fetiers of the “Self”. are broken and as soon as man learns to love the "Non-self”. he begins to emanate spiritual light. Streams of loves.
