Nothing Is Of A Permanent Nature.

Why Should I Need An Artist To Explain A Work Of Art To Me? Why Should It Not Speak Out To Me Itself?

Hinduism Is A Living Organism Liable To Growth And Decay Subject To The Laws Of Nature. One And Indivisible At The Root, It Has Grown Into A Vast Tree With Innumerable Branches. The Changes In The Season Affect It. It Has Its Autumn And Its Summer, Its Winter And Its Spring. It Is, And Is Not, Based On Scriptures. It Does Not Derive Its Authority From One Book. Non Violence Has Found The Highest Expression And Application In Hinduism.

Nonviolence Is Not Merely A Personal Virtue. It Is Also A Social Virtue To Be Cultivated Like Other Virtues.

It Is Also A Warning. It Is A Warning That, If Nobody Reads The Writing On The Wall, Man Will Be Reduced To The State Of The Beast, Whom He Is Shaming By His Manners.

We Must Widen The Circle Of Our Love Till It Embraces The Whole Village; The Village In Its Turn Must Take Into Its Fold The District, The District The Province, And So On Until The Scope Of Our Love Becomes Co-terminous With The World.
