Swaraj can only be achieved through an all-round consciousness of the masses.

What you feel and how you react to something is always up to you. There may be a "normal" or a common way to react to different things. But that's mostly just all it is.

I recall having read, at the brothers' instance, Madame Blavatsky's Key to Theosophy. This book stimulated in me the desire to read books on Hinduism, and disabused me of the notion fostered by the missionaries that Hinduism was rife with superstition.

Unless we are able to evolve a spirit of mutual tolerance for diametrically opposite views, non co-operation is an impossibility.

Means to be means must always be within our reach, and so ahimsa is our supreme duty.

Violence can only be effectively met by nonviolence. This is an old established truth.

Swaraj will favour Hinduism no more than Islam, nor Islam more than Hinduism.
