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.

Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be.

Man's triumph will consist in substituting the struggle for existence by a struggle for mutual service.

In order that knowledge may not run riot, the author of the Gita has insisted on devotion accompanying it and has given it the first place.

It is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honor, his religion, his soul and lay the foundation for the empire's fall or its regeneration.

God is the shield of the nonviolent.

Renunciation is the central sun, round which devotion, knowledge and the rest revolve like planets.
