These are some of his quotes:
“When you don’t take a stand against corruption you tacitly support it.”
We all are responsible citizens of the biggest democracy in India. We have various fundamental and institutional rights. We can raise voice against the government because everything is for the people and by the people. When we shut our mouths, we accept and acknowledge everything unknowingly. We must operate the nation as per our necessities and must not let them exploit our resources.
“If my idol Mahatma Gandhi could fight to eradicate corruption at the age of 78, why can’t I try at 60?”
We must not just fight over the greatest personalities. We must read their works, teachings and inculcate everything in our lives. Lal Bahadur Shastri, Veer Sawarkar, ACB Srila Prabhupada were struggling to achieve the mission at the age of 60-80, then at the age of 20 can’t we represent our nation?
“Happiness is perhaps painlessness, a state one rarely appreciates.”
Happiness and Grief are the siblings. We never understand the significance of happiness if we just had misery in life. Happiness is appreciated for a shorter duration but, grief is celebrated for ages and we get stuck in those sufferings.
“Happiness is very much like a great talent. It rarely gets appreciated and is taken for granted.”
Happiness is a treasure as it is r scarcely discovered and is experienced casually. This casual approach brings with it the next sorrow.
“There is a lot to be learned, and I am always dissatisfied. I am happy but not content.”
The human form is meant for learning and realization. We must constantly learn something and our quest for truth must persist.
“I am prone to lean towards science, ethics, and philosophy rather than myth, religion, and rituals.”
Science, ethics, and philosophy are reasonable and rational whereas myth, religion, and rituals have just restricted people.
“There is a buffet of ideologies for me to choose from. I’ve been a fan of certain communist and socialist ideals. Some have failed, some have succeeded. I’ve lived long enough to understand where all they failed.”
Everyone is living with his ideology. We must try to understand everyone and then decide what ours will be. We can’t just keep blind faith in anybody as everyone is trying to force his particular ideology but, when we start witnessing unflinching faith for something, then we must begin our process.
