Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
God is continuously in action, without resting for a single moment.
Untouchability, I hold, is a sin, if Bhagavadgita is one of our Divine Books.
I regard untouchability as such a grave sin as to warrant divine chastisement.
Untouchability of foreign cloth is as much a virtue with all of us as untouchability of the suppressed classes must be a sin with every devout Hindu.
It is a crime and a sin to regard a person as untouchable because he is born in a particular community.
The meticulous care for the rights of the least among us is the sin qua non of nonviolence.
Non-co-operation means refusal both to help the sinner in his sin and not to accept any help or gift from him till he has repented.
Mass illiteracy is India's sin and shame and must be liquidated.
No stone should be left unturned to bring home to the family members that untouchability is a sin and a blot on Hinduism.
Machinery is the chief symbol of modern civilization; it represents a great sin.
All sins are committed in secrecy. The moment we realize that God witnesses even our thoughts, we shall be free.
I find that we are all such sinners that it is better to leave the judging to God.
I do not seek redemption from the consequences of my sin. I seek to be redeemed from sin itself. Until I have attained that end, I shall be content to be restless.
