and when the sufferings of the meanest of the living creatures become unbearable to him, then are sown the seeds of spiritual awakening in the soul of man. Then only emerges the spark of spiritual life, and man traverses from darkness to light. It is in this condition that man conquers death and attains immortality. In this situation of spiritual awakening whatever man thinks, speaks or does leads to the good of all. This is the secret of universal good, and therein is laid the foundation of the religion of humanity." The religion which is basically the religion of life is the best religion. The religion of life is the religion of Ahimsa, of Truth, of Good Conduct, of Equality, of Compassion, Universal Fraternity and Love. A religion will be great and beneficial to mankind in proportion as it emphasises these values of humanity. Right living is the highest religion.
Man is neither merely the body nor mind nor indeed merely the soul. He is a harmonious blending of the three. Therefore the first duty of man is to keep his body, mind and soul in perfect harmony and to keep all the three healthy, holy and pure. The greatness of man depends upon his capability to control his desires, and not in being controlled by them. Before you put your footstep upon the path of greatness, you must control and corquer all your desires and passions. “He who is a slave to his passion is an animal. He who is striving to conquer his passions is man. He who has largely conquered his passions is a god. And he who has completely conquered his passions for ever is the God of gods. He is the supreme God,"
