Man alone is made in the image of God.

I have made the world's faith in God my own and as my faith is effaceable, I regard that faith as amounting to experience.
Indeed, these errors and my prompt confessions have made me surer, if possible, of my insight into the implications of truth and ahimsa.
Even swadeshi, like any other good thing, can be ridden to death if it is made a fetish.
Violence becomes imperative when an attempt is made to assert rights without any reference to duties.

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.
