... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire; it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.

For me there is a vital connection between the Bihar calamity and the untouchability campaign.

Hatred can be overcome only by love.

Intolerance is a species of violence and therefore against our creed.
