The physical signs of leprosy are a hypopigmented patch and loss of sensation. Now in the so-called healthy society you can see a lot of injustice and poverty, yet you are not moved. You have lost your sensation, your feeling. The mind is so dull, the heart so unfeeling, thick-skinned like a hippopotamus - that's mental leprosy.

I want to be a man who goes around with a little oil can and when he sees a breakdown offers his help. To me, the man who does that is greater than any holy man in saffron-colored robes. The mechanic with the oilcan, that is my ideal in life.
