I hold that without truth and nonviolence there can be nothing but destruction of humanity.

The story of Ramakrishna is a story of religion in practice. His life enables us to see God face to face....

Blaming the wolf would not help the sheep much. The sheep must learn not to fall in the clutches of the wolf.

Fear is not a disease of the body; fear kills the soul.

Active nonviolence of the brave puts to flight thieves, dacoits, murderers, and prepares an army of volunteers ready to sacrifice themselves in quelling riots, in extinguishing fires and feuds, and so on.

I am part and parcel of the whole and cannot find God apart from the rest of humanity.
