My Politics Is My Religion, My Religion

... Man Was Not Born A Carnivorous Animal, But Born To Live On The Fruits And Herbs That The Earth Grows. I Know We Must All Err. I Would Give Up Milk If I Could, But I Cannot. I Have Made That Experiment Times Without Number. I Could Not, After A Serious Illness, Regain My Strength, Unless I Went Back To Milk. That Has Been The Tragedy Of My Life. But The Basis Of My Vegetarianism Is Not Physical, But Moral. If Anybody Said That I Should Die If I Did Not Take Beef Tea Or Mutton, Even On Medical Advice, I Would Prefer Death. That Is The Basis Of My Vegetarianism.

If I Know Hinduism At All, It Is Essentially Inclusive And Ever-growing, Ever-responsive. It Gives The Freest Scope For Imagination, Speculation And Reason.

Surely Conversion Is A Matter Between Man And His Maker Who Alone Knows His Creatures' Hearts. A Conversion Without A Clean Heart Is, In My Opinion, A Denial Of God And Religion. Conversion Without Cleanliness Of Heart Can Only Be A Matter Of Sorrow, Not Joy, To A Godly Person.

The Law And The Lawgiver Are One.

Between The Two, The Nationalist And The Imperialist, There Is No Meeting Ground.
