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.
It is pleasant that there will be no religions in heaven.
The Koran says that there can be no heaven for one who sheds the blood of an innocent neighbour.
If India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her politics. Swaraj would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet.
Earth and heaven are in us
If India becomes the slave of the machine, then, I say, heaven save the world.
Both heaven and hell are within us.
We have no evidence whatsoever that the soul perishes with the body.
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
