A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

Repression does for a true man or a nation what fire does for gold.

I do feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.

In nature there is a fundamental unity running through all the diversity we see about us. Religions are given to mankind so as to accelerate the process of realisation of fundamental unity.

Human society is a ceaseless growth, and unfoldment in terms of spirituality.

For a firm believer in swadeshi, there need be no Pharisaical self-satisfaction in wearing khadi.
