A votary of ahimsa always prays for ultimate deliverance from the bondage of the flesh.

Truth to me is infinitely dearer than the 'mahatmaship' which is purely a burden.

It is my unmistakable belief that not a blade of grass moves but by the divine will.

I care so deeply about this matter that I'm willing to take on the legal penalties, to sit in this prison cell, to sacrifice my freedom, in order to show you how deeply I care. Because when you see the depth of my concern, and how civil I am in going about this, you're bound to change your mind about me, to abandon your rigid, unjust position, and to let me help you see the truth of my cause.

Ahimsa was preached to man when he was in full vigor of life and able to look his adversaries straight in the face.

The real difficulty is that people have no idea of what education truly is. We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. The girls, we say, do not have to earn; so why should they be educated? As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of education.

Whatever does not exist in the body can't be found in the universe, and whatever exists in the universe can be found in the body.
