Happiness, the goal to which we all are striving is reached by endeavoring to make the lives of others happy, and if by renouncing the luxuries of life we can lighten the burdens of others.... surely the simplification of our wants is a thing greatly to be desired! And so, if instead of supposing that we must become hermits and dwellers in caves in order to practice simplicity, we set about simplifying our affairs, each according to his own convictions and opportunity, much good will result and the simple life will at once be established.

Knowledge and devotion, to be true, have to stand the test of renunciation of the fruits of action.

The propagation of truth and nonviolence can be done less by books than by actually living on those principles.

My Hindu instinct tells me that all religions are more or less true.

Truth and nonviolence are as old as the hills.

Without living Truth, God is nowhere.

Monotony is the law of nature. Look at the monotonous manner in which the sun rises. The monotony of necessary occupation is exhilarating and life giving.
