Mine is not a religion of the prison-house. It has room for the least among God's creation.
I know of no religion or sect that has done or is doing without a house of God, variously described as a temple, a mosque, a church, a synagogue or agiary.
Religion is not like a house or a cloak which can be changed at will.
My modesty has prevented me from declaring from the house top that the message of non-co-operation, nonviolence and swadeshi is a message to the world.
Many could forgo heavy meals, a full wardrobe, a fine house, etcetera. It is the ego they cannot forgo.
I do not wish my house to be walled and my windows stuffed. I want all cultures to blow freely through my dwelling.

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.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed
