The object of the Gita appears to me to be that of showing the most excellent way to attain self-realization.

For a fallen India to aspire to move the world and protect the weaker races is seemingly an impertinence.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

A living faith cannot be manufactured by the rule of majority

Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.

I believe that the civilization India evolved is not to be beaten in the world. Nothing can equal the seeds sown by our ancestors, Rome went, Greece shared the same fate; the might of the Pharaohs was broken; Japan has become Westernized; of China nothing can be said; but India is still, somehow or other, sound at the foundation.

It is a sad thing that our schoolboys look upon manual labour with disfavour, if not contempt.
