My firm belief is that he reveals Himself daily to every human being but we shut our ears to the still small Voice.
My fast is a matter between God and myself.
My varnashram refuses to bow the head before the greatest potentate on earth, but my varnashram compels me to bow down my head in all humility before knowledge, purity, before every person where I see God face to face.
My religion says that only he who is prepared to suffer can pray to God.
Mine is not a religion of the prison-house. It has room for the least among God's creation.
Let me say that God will send me the plan when He gives the word as He has done before now.
It is my unmistakable belief that not a blade of grass moves but by the divine will.
It is my conviction that the root of evil is the want of a living God.
If I arrogate to myself the exclusive title of being in the right, I usurp the function of the Deity.
For me the Voice of God, of Conscience, of Truth or the Inner Voice or the still small Voice mean one and the same thing.
For me, Rama and Rahim are one and the same deity. I acknowledge no other God but the one God of truth and righteousness.
By Ram Raj I do not mean Hindu Raj. I mean by Ram Raj, Divine Raj, the Kingdom of God.
I worship the God that is Truth or Truth which is God through the service of these millions.
I trust men only because I trust God.
