... difficulties of the other person, perhaps sometimes his qualities also, but these are less contagious. This indeed is something that shuts you up most. Some people… unless they have more or less social relations with others, relations of friendship, conversing… and then it goes still farther… they don’t receive any forces; and this is how they receive them. But this always makes a soup. The forces one ...
... serve that power of life, consent only to exist as an instrument for the maintenance and efficiency of the collective existence. In another idea the perfection of man lies in his ethical and social relations with other men; he is a social being and has to live for society, for others, for his utility to the race: the society also is there for the service of all, to give them their right relation, ...
... external rather than inwardly profound in its concepts. No such general thing as duty exists; we have only duties, often in conflict with each other, and these are determined by our environment, our social relations, our external status in life. They are of great value in training the immature moral nature and setting up a standard which discourages the action of selfish desire. It has already been said that ...
... developed for 50,000 inhabitants on a circular or concentric plan, with equal place given to the four fundamental aspects of man's activity: Dwelling (Residential Zone), Culture (Cultural Zone), Social Relations (International Zone), Work (Industrial Zone). Each zone must be in relation to the spiritual centre of the town which would dominate the architectural ensemble and serve as a constant reminder ...
... step which led to the destruction of Troy. To put the blame on the shoulders of poor Hector who was not only a fervent patriot and a "bonny" fighter but blamelessly moral in all his family and social relations is really a scandal for which you deserve to be hauled up before the Law-courts of the Beyond. Hector, I may say, has been slandered in another way—for he was really not in the habit of "hectoring ...

In his social relations and conduct, he was strict in his observance of all social responsibilities as father, son, husband, brother, kinsman, friend, ruler, master and servant, prince or warrior, or worker, king or ...

... large place in the human future - this should be the Indian spirit. If the Vedantic idea of the oneness of all men in God could be realised inwardly and outwardly - "increasingly even in social relations and the structure of society" - that surely must ensure the progress of the human race. In that respect, India if she chose could "guide the world"; but for this it was necessary that the spiritual ...

... a bold effort to question Hindu values and practices in Why I am Not a Hindu ? Without going into the merits of his arguments we can concede that if Indian society has to be regenerated the social relations between castes will also have to be reordered. In a profoundly conservative sense I do not have any illusions that caste will disappear, but I do believe that it can be made relatively unimportant ...
... an organization of human animals. Its chief law will be “the law of the fittest”, and the result must be bellum omnium versus omnes, a war of all against all. This interpretation of the human social relations, initially by Herbert Spencer, became known as ‘social biology’; it would be the norm in the capitalist society as well as in international politics. If the fittest are the ones that survive, ...
... patterns tend to get removed and a beginning of moral regeneration to set in. LSD, there- fore, can lead not only to a new metaphysical outlook but also to a good deal of benefit in the field of social relations, political procedures and even international adjustments. Again, as marked by both Huxley and Heard, psychedelics can be a spur to artistic creation. A study of the sense- impressions of ...
... a law of Karma. The child did not ask the father to bring him into the world—and if the father has done it for his own pleasure, it is the least he can do to bring up the child. All these are social relations (and it is not at all a one-sided debt of the child to the father, either), but whatever they are, they cease once one takes to the spiritual life. For the spiritual life does not at all rest ...
... so much the worse for him. He will only have to... the result will be that he will have to overcome his anger. That's all. This will perhaps do him some good. There is a great weakness in social relations, a very great weakness; and that is why, in fact, one gets angry and gets carried away and says things he should not say. If one were not weak, one would never be violent. Weakness and violence ...

... serving the power of its life, consent only to exist as an instrument for the maintenance and efficient existence of the society. In a third ideal, the perfection of man lies in his ethical and social relations with other human beings, his social being and his love for society, for others, for his utility to the race. In this view, society exists for the service of all, to give them their right framework ...

... resulting in a marked advance in the economic sphere and a raising of the standard of living. With the improvement in the conditions of life and labour, there was no doubt an amelioration in the social relations. But human nature has not changed to any appreciable extent. What has happened in the world in the last fifty years is sufficient proof of this obduracy. It is this apparent unchangeableness ...
... led to the conclusion that, while a marked advance in the economic sphere and an improvement in the conditions of life and labour were noticeable, leading no doubt to an amelioration in the social relations, still human nature had not changed to any appreciable extent. Egoism and greed have always tried to divert any new discovery or improvement for the benefit of a few individuals or for a group ...

The supreme Indian idea of the oneness of all men in God and its realisation inwardly and outwardly, increasingly even in social relations and the structure of society is destined, I believe, to govern the progress of the human race.
