By spiritual training I mean education of the heart.

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

If blood be shed, let it be our own. Let us cultivate the calm courage to die without killing.

If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.

No effort is complete without prayer - without definite recognition that the best human endeavor is of no effect if it has not God's blessing behind it.

Ahimsa is the highest duty. Even if we cannot practice it in full, we must try to understand its spirit and refrain as far as is humanly possible from violence.

If we are nonviolent through and through, our nonviolence would have been self-evident.
