Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.

The golden rule is to act fearlessly upon what one believes to be right.

My ahimsa is my own. I am not able to accept in its entirety the doctrine of non-killing of animals.

Truth is self-evident, nonviolence is its maturest fruit. It is contained in truth, but is not self-evident.

The votaries of nonviolence cannot harbour violence even in thought, let alone the question of doing it.

To me, God is Truth and Love; God is ethics and morality: God is fearlessness. God is the source of Light and Life and yet He is above and beyond all these. God is conscience... He is a personal God to those who need His personal presence. He is embodied to those who need His touch. He is the purest essence. He simply is to those who have faith. He is all things to all men.

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
