Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.

A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him.

The common factor of all religions is nonviolence.

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.

God is that indefinable something which we all feel but which we do not know.

The Law of Love, call it attraction, affinity, cohesion if you like, governs the world.

The khadi spirit means fellow-feeling with every human being on earth.
