True religion is not a narrow dogma. It is not external observance. It is faith in God and living in the presence of God. It means faith in a future life, in truth and Ahimsa. There prevails today a sort of apathy towards these things of the Spirit.

Real suffering, bravely borne, melts even a heart of stone. Such is the potency of suffering. And there lies the key to Satyagraha.

We are merely the instruments of the Almighty's will and therefore ignorant of what helps us forward and what acts as an impediment. We must thus rest satisfied with the knowledge only of the means and if these are pure, we can fearlessly leave the end to take care of itself.

In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.

I cannot account for the existence of evil by any rational method. To want to do so is to be co-equal with God.I know that He has no evil in Him, and yet if there is evil, He is the author of it and yet untouched by it.

Ahimsa [infinite love] is a weapon of matchless potency. It is the summum bonum of life. It is an attitude of the brave, in fact it is their all. It does not come within the reach of a coward. It is no wooden or lifeless dogma but a living and lifegiving force. It is the special attribute of the soul.

It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

To a man with an empty stomach food is God.

To say that God permits evil in the world may not be pleasing to the ear. But if He is held responsible for the good, it follows that He has to be responsible for the evil too.

God never appears to you in person but always in action.

It is foolish to think that by fleeing one can trick the dread god of death. Let us treat him as a beneficent angel rather than a dread god. We must face and welcome him whenever he comes.

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.

What is true of the individual will be to-morrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.

Evil is, good or truth misplaced.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion.
