Swaminarayn worked to ease the suffering of the poor. He spoke out against sacrifice; including, women's sati on their husband's funeral pyre and using animals in rituals. He actively discouraged female infanticide by helping with dowries and he broke with tradition by appointing lower caste members as personal assistants. Swaminarayn taught that the soul is neither male nor female and that everyone was equal in the eyes of God.
