Summary

This quote suggests that while censorship may be necessary within the confines of one's own home, it should not extend beyond that. It acknowledges that individuals have the right to regulate what enters their personal spaces, protecting themselves and their loved ones. However, the quote also emphasizes the importance of not imposing censorship on society as a whole. In contrast to charity, which can benefit wider communities, censorship should not go beyond personal boundaries as it can infringe upon freedom of expression and limit the diversity of ideas and perspectives necessary for a healthy society.

The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly.
