India is essentially a karmabhumi (land of duty) in contradistinction to bhogabhumi (land of enjoyment).

Non-co-operation is the quickest method of creating public opinion.

To believe that what has not occurred in history will not occur at all, is to argue disbelief in the dignity of man.

It is beneath human dignity to lose one's individuality and become a mere cog in the machine.

I believe in the absolute oneness of God and, therefore, also of humanity. What though we have many bodies? We have but one soul. The rays of the sun are many through refraction. But they have the same source. I cannot, therefore, detach myself from the wickedest soul (nor may I be denied identity with the most virtuous).

I have nothing of the communalist in me because my Hinduism is all inclusive.

Every affliction has its own rich lesson to teach, if we would learn it.
