“Generally speaking, an Indian university must regard itself as one of the living organs of national reconstruction. It must discover the best means of blending together both the spiritual and the material aspects of life. It must equip its alumni irrespective of caste, creed or sex, with individual fitness, not for its own sake, not for merely adorning varied occupations and professions, but in order to teach them how to merge their individuality in the common cause of advancing the progress and prosperity of their motherland and upholding the highest traditions of human civilisation.” HumansMeanTogetherSpiritualOrderIndividualSexCausesCommonTeachProgressMaterialsHighestAspectTraditionRegardUniversitySakeIndividualityProsperityProfessionIndianOccupationOrgansCreedsCivilisationAdvancingReconstructionCastesAspects Of LifeMotherlandAlumni Author:Syama Prasad Mukherjee
“Surely there is a fitness in the institution of the Lord's Supper as a standing memorial by which the church at large may commemorate the grandest act, and by which the heart of each individual believer may be reminded of his dearest friend. You, who have learned to love the Saviour, will prize His ordinance for the Saviour's sake. You who rejoice in the salvation purchased by His dying, will not fail with gratitude and faith to show the Lord's death until He come.” HeartMayShowsIndividualChurchLordFailingDyingGratitudeStandingInstitutionsSalvationSakeBelieverPrizeRejoiceMemorialSaviourSupperOrdinancesDearest FriendLord's Supper Author:William Morley Punshon
“The most unhappy people in the world are the ones who live only for themselves. All that they do, they do only for their own sake. For these self- centered individuals, the most precious things in the world is their ‘self.’ Like a cancer that eats and destroys its own cells, the self-centered individual is slowly dying inwardly.” PeopleWorldSelfIndividualDyingSakeCancerUnhappyCellsSelf CenteredHappy PeoplePrecious ThingsUnhappy People Author:K.P.

“The act of willingly subtracting from one's own limited store of the good and the agreeable for the sake of adding to that of others reflects the understanding that individual happiness needs a base broader than the mere satisfaction of selfish passions. From there, it is not such a large step to the realization that respecting the susceptibilities and rights of others is as important as defending one's own susceptibilities and rights if civilized society is to be safeguarded.” IfsNeedsImportantPassionIndividualUnderstandingStepsRightsMereSakeSatisfactionStoresSelfishRealizationCivilizedCivilized SocietySusceptibilityIndividual Happiness Book:Towards a true refuge Source: Towards a true refuge
