“It is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of its own reason.”

“The notion is that human beings are born, (as my Guru has explained many times,) with equivalent potential for both contraction and expansion. The ingredients of both darkness and light are equally present in all of us, and then it's up to the individual (or the family, or the society) to decide what will be brought forth - the virtues or the malevolence. The madness of this planet is largely a result of human being's difficulty in coming into virtuous balance with himself. Lunacy (both collective and individual) results.”

“There's something really interesting in the way you shy away from virtuous touch," he said."I don't mind the virtue part. It's you I mind.”

“Flirting is the sin of the virtuous and the virtue of thesinful.”

“-The very absence of the freedom to criticise against your own or any other government is all the more a reason to loudly shout-out for democracy! If that is wrong, Drew boldly went on, -then I would rather be wrong then to be numbered among the majority of the so-called righteous people whose only mandate seems to be controlling people. If a government is against its people expressing themselves, then that government is obviously hiding something criminal from its people and the world, and it is therefore afraid of being exposed and losing whatever power it has.”

“Nothing in the study of history is cheaper than the exercise of unearned self-righteousness that derives from nothing more virtuous than ordinary hindsight.”
