Prejudice is the entryway for injustice and ignorance.













158.  Governments that try to conceal their poverty of thought behind a mask of conventional success are doing the work of grave-diggers.   Thus it is necessary to point out to younger generations the approach of the yoga of Life.    -M:  Agni Yoga 1929

342.  Prejudice is the entryway for injustice and ignorance.  But people should recognize the boundary line of prejudice.  This worm lives in the same house with doubt like a younger kinsman.  A very keen eye is needed in order to discern such a dangerous mite.  Each manifestation, each object is usually encountered by people with varying degrees of prejudice.  People try to justify themselves by saying that since they perceive objects they must as a preliminary measure preserve their unprejudiced judgment.  But as a matter of fact instead of impartiality they disclose the cruelest prejudice.  One should keep this popular weakness in mind in order to know from what to liberate oneself.        -Morya:  Brotherhood 1937
