Gems of Thought

1. Minus money, the modern man is a walking corpse indeed. To keep the body and soul together money is needed. But, that is no excuse for earning money illegally. One must earn wealth honestly.

2. The principles which govern us in educating women are: 'First, to educate them as human beings, personalities; Secondly, to educate them as women in order to fit them to become good wives and wise mothers; and, Thirdly, to educate them as members of the nation so that they may always remember that their lives at home are related in an important manner however hidden, to the prosperity or decay of the nation.'
__ Prof. Karve.

3. The only panacea for all the ills of mankind at present is the propagation of the universal doctrine of oneness of mankind.

4. Women and Gold are impermanent. God is the only eternal reality. What does a man get with money? Food, clothes and a dwelling place---nothing more.You cannot realise God with its help. Therefore, money should never be the Goal of Life. (Women and Gold mean only lust and greed).

5. Hate Lust, but not Women. Just as Sri Ramakrishna looked on all women as so many images of the divine mother of the universe, so also the aspirants on the spiritual path should pay the highest homage to ideal womanhood.
