People will tell you everyday that first take care of your home, then go abroad for preaching, but I tell you in very clear language that only when you work for others you will be able to do the best work.
Today’s meeting proves that by trying to spread the world of knowledge in other countries through your thoughts, how it will be helpful for you.
Had I kept my field of work confined to India itself, then even a quarter of the good that I have achieved by going to England and America would not have been fruitful.
This is a great ideal before us and everyone has to be ready for it. The whole world will have to be conquered through India, nothing less than this will work, for this life will have to be sacrificed.

In this country it was said for the first time that hatred cannot be conquered by hatred, hatred can be conquered by love, we have to do this. Materialism and the miseries arising from it can be conquered by materialism.

I would love to see you as blatant atheists, but not as blasphemous fools, because there is some hope among the citizens.
They are not dead, but if evil enters the brain, it becomes absolutely useless. I want courageous, bold people. There is no need for expressions that make the brain useless and weak.
It is good for you and your entire race to be a blatant atheist, because being an atheist will at least make you brighter, but to be so wicked is the cause of degradation and death.
We are not always the followers of any particular person, we are the worshipers of the elements of religion. Man is the embodiment of those elements, for example.
