I can neither serve God nor humanity if as an Indian I do not serve India, and as a Hindu I do not serve Indian Mussalmans.
I call God long-suffering and patient precisely because He permits evil in the world. I know that He has no evil in Him and yet if there is evil, He is the author of it and yet untouched by it.
I believe in God, not as a theory but as a fact more real than life itself.
I am not likely to obtain the result flowing from the worship of God by laying myself prostrate before Satan.
I am endeavouring to see God through service of humanity; for I know that God is neither in heaven, nor down below, but in everyone.
God will rule the lives of all those who will surrender themselves without reservation to Him.
God will not be God, if He allowed Himself to be the object of proof by His creatures.
God will cease to be God, if he brought into being a single person with the hall-mark of inferiority.
God, who is the embodiment of Truth and Right and Justice, can never have sanctioned a religion or practice which regards one - fifth of our vast population as untouchables.
God is known by many names. And in the last analysis God's names were as many as human beings.
God the Compassionate and the Merciful, Tolerance incarnate, allows Mammon to have his nine days' wonder.
God to be God must rule the heart and transform it.
God's word is : He who strives never perishes.
God's ways are more than Man's arithmetic.
