A Jailer Is As Much

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.

What Is True Of The Individual Will Be Tomorrow True Of The Whole Nation If Individuals Will But Refuse To Lose Heart And Hope.

Complete Non-violence Is Complete Absence Of Ill-will Against All That Lives. It Therefore Embraces Even Sub-human Life, Not Excluding Noxious Insects And Beasts. They Have Not Been Created To Feed Our Destructive Propensities. If We Only Knew The Mind Of The Creator, We Should Find Their Proper Place In His Creation.

Nonviolence Becomes Meaningless If Violence Is Permitted For Self-defence.

Purity Of Personal Life Is The One Indispensable Condition For Building Up A Sound Education.
