If we had attained the full vision of Truth, we would no longer be seekers, but become one with God, for Truth is God.
God in his wisdom circumscribed man's vision, and rightly too, for otherwise man's conceit would know no bounds.
God has given us only a limited sphere of action and a limited vision.
The golden rule of conduct is mutual toleration, seeing that we will never all think alike and we shall always see Truth in fragment and from different points of vision.
Every fight is one between different angles of vision illuminating the same truth.
Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved, or because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders progress.
I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.
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.
