1. Hinduism must rescue itself fro the fake Babas and the false Gurus if it has to retain its practising purity and be effective as an illumining life-philosophy.
2. Islam and Christianity must learn to stop converting people of other faiths to their own. They will then contribute much to the promotion of world peace for conversion itself is a crass form of violence. It is intolerance born out of the degenerate sense of religious imperialism and must be eschewed if ever these proselytising religions will be a force for genuine good on earth.
3. Men of character alone can preach religion. And such religious activity can have no connection with money, marketing or magic.
4. The common man, unpretentious and simple, is far superior to the hypocrites who preach religion and practise quite the reverse.
5. The one way to get past these charlatans who have poisoned the epidermis of Hinduism is to acquire scriptural knowledge oneself with whatever tools are available for individual study.
6. Let opinion be diverse but let the common strand of national good run through such diversity as the unifying link. Democracy demands freedom of speech and expression as a fundamental right and it has been enshrined in our Constitution but let none be oblivious of the fact that national interest must never be compromised by the parties exercising such freedom, for every right has a corresponding duty associated with it which may never be lost sight of, else, such freedom of unbridled expression and malefic propaganda runs contrary to the essential spirit of the Constitution that declares our nation to be a sovereign State. Dissent is welcome but not at the cost of national integration. The sovereignty of the State is an inviolable principle fundamental to its being and all forms of democratic discourse, deliberation and dissent must take cognisance of this essential element of our nation's Statehood. Democracy entails freedom tempered by restraint in the light of ensuring national good and safeguarding national security.
7. The principal problem of society is the lack of a sufficient love surfacing from the system due to a debilitated condition of the desire-ridden body. The solution lies in observance of absolute purity by teachers upon whom is entrusted the building up of the future of humanity, those freshest flowers, the children who are to be the inheritors of the legacy we pass on.
8. Politics is one and service to the nation another. When the twain will have met, then will real national good ensue.
9. We should seek inspiration from the memory of national icons, not make capital personal out of it.
10. A cynical rejection of the prospects of the day in the light of the reigning corruption hardly augurs well for the combating of this evil. Optimism tempered by realism ought to supplant this pessimistic dismissal of all that may be done to reverse this decadent trend.
