Spiritual instruments suffer in their potency when their use is taught through non-spiritual messages which are self-propagating.

Let the content of Swaraj grow with the growth of national consciousness and aspirations.

I do feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.

If we would be pure, if we would save Hinduism, we must rid ourselves of this poison of enforced widowhood.

... man was not born a carnivorous animal, but born to live on the fruits and herbs that the earth grows. I know we must all err. I would give up milk if I could, but I cannot. I have made that experiment times without number. I could not, after a serious illness, regain my strength, unless I went back to milk. That has been the tragedy of my life. But the basis of my vegetarianism is not physical, but moral. If anybody said that I should die if I did not take beef tea or mutton, even on medical advice, I would prefer death. That is the basis of my vegetarianism.

Harijan service is a duty the caste Hindus owe to themselves.
