The Man Or The Woman

Nonviolence Succeeds Only When We Have A Real Living Faith In God.

The Purpose Of Life Is Undoubtedly To Know Oneself. We Cannot Do It Unless We Learn To Identify Ourselves With All That Lives. The Sum-total Of That Life Is God.

Our Non-co-operation Is With The System The English Have Established In India, With The Material Civilization And Its Attendant Greed And Exploitation Of The Weak.

I Object To Violence Because When It Appears To Do Good, The Good Is Only Temporary; The Evil It Does Is Permanent.

I Was A Coward. I Used To Be Haunted By The Fear Of Thieves, Ghosts And Serpents. I Did Not Dare To Stir Out Of Doors At Night. Darkness Was A Terror To Me. It Was Almost Impossible For Me To Sleep In The Dark, As I Would Imagine Ghosts Coming From One Direction, Thieves From Another And Serpents From A Third. I Could Not Therefore Bear To Sleep Without A Light In The Room.
