Non-co-operation and civil disobedience in terms of Swaraj are not to be thought of without substantial constructive effort.

If you Christians acted more like your Christ, the world would be a better place.

The Swaraj of my dream is the poor man's Swaraj.

To slight a single human being, is to slight those divine powers and thus to harm not only that being but with him, the whole world.

We find the general work of mankind is being carried on from day to day by the mass of people acting in harmony as if by instinct. If they were instinctively violent, the world would end in no time.

I have known many meat eaters to be far more nonviolent than vegetarians.

Detachment is not indifference. it is the prerequisite for effective involvement. Often what we think is best for others is distorted by our attachments to our opinions. We want others to be happy in the way we think they should be happy. It is only when we want nothing for ourselves that we are able to see clearly into others needs and understand how to serve them.
