Every single act of one who would lead a life of purity should be in the nature of yajna.

A rabbit that runs away from the bull-terrier is not particularly non-violent.

Renunciation is everyone's prerogative.

I am not fighting machinery as such, but the madness of thinking that machinery saves labor. Men save labor until thousands of them are without work and die of hunger on the streets. I want to secure employment and livelihood not only to part of the human race, but for all. I will not have the enrichment of a few at the expense of the community. At present the machine is helping a small minority to live on the exploitation of the masses. The motive force of this minority is not humanity or love of their kind, but greed and avarice.

The sum total of karma is God.

The most practical, the most dignified way of going on in the world is to take people at their word, when you have no positive reason to the contrary.

Let me say that God will send me the plan when He gives the word as He has done before now.
