Put (k + 1) in both sides in the place of k
LHS = 1 + 3 + 5 + .... + (2k – 1) + (2k + 1)
RHS = 3 + (k + 1)2 = 3 + k2 + 2k + 1
Let LHS = RHS
1 + 3 + 5 + .......... + (2k – 1) + (2k + 1)

killing, for man must die, but the deliberate and persistent propagation of hatred and falsehood, which
gradually become the normal habits of the people.
It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life's course by hatreds and aversions, for they are
wasteful of energy and limit and twist the mind, and prevent if from perceiving the truth.
