Violence is the weapon of weak, non-violence that of the strong.

Ahimsa is the strongest force known.

The true battlefield is within.

I suffer snakes to be killed in the ashram when it is impossible to catch them and put them out of harm's way.

My dharma teaches me to give my life for the sake of others without even attempting to kill.

Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.

When freedom is in jeopardy, non-co-operation may be a duty and prison may be a palace.
