People become what they expect themselves to become

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

To me the Mahabharata is a profoundly religious book, largely allegorical, in a way meant to be a historical record.

I am just not thinking of India's deliverance. It will come, but will it be worth if England and France fall, or if they come out victorious over Germany ruined and humbled?

The more I reflect and look back on the past, the more vividly do I feel my limitations.

I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.

The aim of university education should be to turn out true servants of the people who will live and die for the country's freedom.
