No One Chains A Slave

A Satyagrahi May Not Ride Two Horses, Truth And Untruth, At The Same Time, Nor, To Change The Metaphor, Trim His Sail To Catch Every Breeze As You Do In The Name Of Communism.

The Spinning Wheel Is Not Meant To Oust A Single Man Or Woman From His Or Her Occupation.

A Nonviolent Life Is An Act Of Self-examination And Self-purification, Whether By An Individual, Group Or Nation.

The Path Of Self-purification Is Hard And Steep. One Has To Become Absolutely Passion-free In Thought, Speech And Action To Rise Above The Opposing Currents Of Love And Hatred, Attachment And Repulsion. I Know That I Have Not In Me As Yet That Triple Purity In Spite Of Constant Ceaseless Striving For It. That Is Why The World's Praise Fails To Move Me, Indeed It Very Often Stings Me. To Conquer The Subtle Passions Seems To Me To Be Harder Far Than The Physical Conquest Of The World By The Force Of Arms.

Whenever You Take A Step Forward, You Are Bound To Disturb Something. You Disturb The Air As You Go Forward, You Disturb The Dust, The Ground. You Trample Upon Things. When A Whole Society Moves Forward, This Trampling Is On A Much Bigger Scale; And Each Thing That You Disturb, Each Vested Interest Which You Want To Remove, Stands As An Obstacle.
