After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.

Under my plan, the state will be there to carry out the will of the people, not to dictate to them or to force them to do its will.

The dry knowledge of the three R's is not even now, it can never be, a permanent part of the villagers' life.

The saving of labour of the individual should be the object and honest humanitarian considerations, and not greed, the motive.

I will suffer the agony if that is to be my lot.

Enter with me into the sufferings, not only of the people of India but of the whole world. Nonviolence is a more active and real fight against wickedness than retaliation whose very nature is to increase wickedness. It is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.

Satyagraha as conceived by me is a science in the making.
