I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God- given and I believe that they were necessary for the people to whom these religions were revealed. And I believe that if only we could all of us read the scriptures of the different faiths from the standpoints of the followers of these faiths, we should find that they were at bottom all one and were all helpful to one another.

In India there is a common saying that the way to Swaraj is through Mandalay.

Men say I am a saint losing himself in politics. The fact is that I am a politician trying my hardest to become a saint.

Truth is the right designation of God.

Start changing yourself if you want to change the life around you.

God never occurs to you in person but always in action.

I shall die, but I will not kill.
