1. Character-formation is the need of the hour. All western modes of shameless socialising must be eschewed.
2. This blatant display, this unabashed exhibition, this unrestrained exposure, all these are not in keeping with the Indian ethos.
3. What glory is in intoxication to the point of losing self-control? Why do so when there are meditative methods of exhilaration?
4. When self-oblivion strikes its death-blow, materialism is the result. But one must be wary of theistic materialism too.
5. We have to improve the level of our rational discourse and not degrade it by hijacking it through emotional effusions.
6. It will be heartening to see readers looking for the meaning I intend to convey through my posts and then commenting accordingly. Commenting without understanding the import of a write-up is tantamount to distracting all from the involved discourse. We have a fixed opinion which we tend to thrust on others. This is better avoided to allow fruitful intellectual deliberation. While commenting, the self must not be blazoned. The idea must reign supreme and not the ego. Intellectual discourse demands it. Each and every word carries meaning. Commenting without comprehending the import merely distracts deliberation, diverts discourse.
7. Ramakrishna Mission monks are the hope of humanity. Those that disparage them are doing disservice to the world. Being objectively critical of Ramakrishna Mission is one like Netaji at times was but being maliciously so is quite another. To have the audacity to speak disparagingly about R.K.Mission and without repentance at that is the height of youthful misadventure.
8. Men who have barely taken the first steps of vain learning dare condemn me as a fanatic! How fanatical is that?
9. As we step into the 150th year of Sister Nivedita's advent on earth, let us read and reflect on this glorious chapter of our nation's history.
10. I feel sad when young people, immature as they are, pretend to know more than they do, and from this arise all egotistical assertions. Humility takes to wings in the wake of deployment of the lower self as arsenal to combat goodness. The result is ruinous.
