Every child, at birth, is the universal man. But, as it grows, we turn it into a "petty man" (through caste, creed, religion and race). It should be the function of education to turn it into the original "universal man". — As quoted in "'Vishwamanava Express', and story behind the name", Deccan Herald (27 May 2017)
