To redef<strong>in</strong>e Utopian sense <strong>of</strong> morality<br />

The most important facet <strong>of</strong> revolution required today is a human one. What is Human revolution?<br />

An <strong>in</strong>ner revolution with<strong>in</strong> a man to transcend to <strong>the</strong> highest level <strong>of</strong> humanity <strong>and</strong> let himself leap beyond<br />
