The object of the Gita appears to me to be that of showing the most excellent way to attain self-realization.
Self-realization is the object of the Gita, as it is of all scriptures.
Truth is my religion and ahimsa is the only way of its realization.
The greater the realization of truth and ahimsa, the greater the illumination.
Dharma is one and one only. Ahimsa means moksha, and moksha is the realization of Truth.
Freedom from all attachment is the realization of God as Truth.
Through realization of freedom of India, I hope to realize and carry on the mission of brotherhood of man.
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.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
