My swadeshi chiefly centers round the handspun khaddar and extends to everything that can be and is produced in India.

Khaddar delivers the poor from the bonds of the rich and creates a moral and spiritual bond between the classes and the masses.

Persistent questioning and healthy inquisitiveness are the first requisite for acquiring learning of any kind.

Life is an aspiration. Its mission is to strive after perfection, which is self-realization. The ideal must not be lowered because of our weaknesses or imperfections.

I have not conceived my mission to be that of a knight-errant wandering everywhere to deliver people from difficult situations. My humble occupation has been to show people how they can solve their own difficulties.

The greatest help you can give me is to banish fear from your hearts.

Nothing in the Shastras, which is capable of being reasoned, can stand if it is in conflict with reason.
