The Krishna of the Gita is perfection and right knowledge personified, but the picture is imaginary.

The world is touched by sacrifice. It does not then discriminate about the merits of a cause. No so God - He is all seeing. He insists on the purity of the cause and on adequate sacrifice thereof.

The dignity of man requires obedience to a higher law, to the strength of the spirit.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Virtue lies in being absorbed in one's prayers in the presence of din and noise.

Nonviolence in the sense of mere non-killing does not appear to me, therefore, to be of any improvement on the technique of violence.

Perfect nonviolence is difficult. It admits to no weakness.
