There is no yajna (sacrifice) greater than spinning calculated to bring peace to the troubled spirit, to soothe the distracted student's mind, to spiritualize his life.

My soul refuses to be satisfied so long as it is a helpless witness of a single wrong or a single misery.

Marriage is not an act of services. It is a comfort man or woman seeks for himself or herself.

India is less manly under the British rule than she ever was before.
