- A secular state may be impartial to any particular type of faith, but the state cannot be indifferent to the principles of religion as above-mentioned

- In the name of secular government, unqualified people are taking the supreme governmental posts

S

- Secular state does not mean they should be callous about the quality and work of the citizens

- The so-called reading of Bhagavad-gita, lecture on Bhagavad-gita, without Krsna... God, kingdom of God without God. We want kingdom of God, peace and prosperity, but without God. There must not be God. That is our secular government
- The state will be declared to be secular, or without any particular principle of religion, and as a result there will be total indifference to the principles of religion
- The statutory laws of the state are imperfect imitation replicas of religious codes. The secular state, or the godless state, allows the citizens to break the laws of God, but restricts them from disobeying the laws of the state
- The Washington University students, they have taken interest in our movement, & one Christian gentleman, he did not like our men to speak at the University, because University is a secular. But he has been very strongly criticized by the student community
- To give up religion altogether, secular, simply open factory, bolts and nuts, and work hard and drink and take meat... What is this civilization? What is this civilization? Therefore we are suffering
- Today people engaged in government service and people who rule over the citizens have no respect for the varnasrama-dharma. They complacently feel that the state is secular. In such a government, no one can be happy
