If it is possible for the human tongue to give the fullest description of God, I have come to the conclusion that God is Truth.

Freedom of worship, even of public speech, would become a farce if interference became the order of the day.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

My doctrine means that I must identify myself with life, with everything that lives, that I must share the majesty of life in the presence of God. The sum-total of this life is God. .. Man is not at peace with himself until he has become like unto God. The endeavor to reach this state is the supreme, the only ambition worth having. And this is self-realisation. This self-realisation is the subject of the Gita, as it is of all scriptures... to be a real devotee is to realise oneself. Self-realisation is not something apart.

Perfect nonviolence is difficult. It admits to no weakness.

Our nonviolence vis-а-vis the British Government has been the nonviolence of the weak.
