A man of genius is unbearable, unless he possesses at least two things besides: gratitude and purity.

As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world.

Purity or impurity depends on oneself, no one can purify another.

Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.

The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.

A fearless woman who knows that her purity is her best shield can never be dishonoured.
