A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

The Gita has become for me the key to the scriptures of the world.

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.

Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

I would rather have India without education, if that is the price to be paid for making it dry.
