Non-violence is not a quality to be evolved or expressed to order. It is an inward growth depending for sustenance upon intense individual effort.

There is no yajna (sacrifice) greater than spinning calculated to bring peace to the troubled spirit, to soothe the distracted student's mind, to spiritualize his life.

Exploitation and domination of one nation over another can have no place in a world striving to put an end to all war.

It is an ever-growing belief with me that truth cannot be found by violent means.

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

When I see a cow, it is not an animal to eat, it is a poem of pity for me and I worship it and I shall defend its worship against the whole world.

Those who are lacking in bhakti (devotion), lacking in faith, are ill qualified to interpret the scriptures.
