...service can have no meaning unless one takes pleasure in it. When it is done for show or for fear of public opinion, it stunts the man and crushes his spirit. Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

Even Ramanama is by itself lifeless, but it has become a living symbol of the deity because millions of people have consecrated it.

I can not give you the reference of Ram Chandar or Krishna, because they were not historical figures. I can not help it but to present to you the names of (Hazrat) Abu Bakar (RA) and (Hazrat) Umar Farooq (RA). They were leaders of a vast Empire, yet they lived a life of austerity.

Untouchability, I hold, is a sin, if Bhagavadgita is one of our Divine Books.

Nonviolence is not merely a personal virtue. It is also a social virtue to be cultivated like other virtues.

Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.

Means are not to be distinguished from ends. If violent means are used, there will be bad results.
