I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

What is truth? A difficult question; but I have solved it for myself by saying that it is what the 'voice within' tells you.

The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly.

None, while in flesh, can be entirely free from himsa, because one never completely renounces the will to live.

I look upon air-power for destruction as a terrible crime against humanity.

Widowhood imposed by religion or custom is an unbearable yoke and defiles the home by secret vice and degrades religion.

The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
