I am not a madman or a nut.

No money on earth can buy the love and affection that has been given to me by a grateful nation.

Hatred, intolerance, poor hygienic conditions and violence all have roots in illiteracy, so we're trying to do something to help the poor and the needy.

People go out of their way to show the love and respect for me. It is very gratifying.

There is no degree of human suffering which in and of itself is going to bring about change. Only organisation can change things.
