Nonviolence Which To Me Is The Glory Of Hinduism, Has Been Sought To Be Explained Away By Our People As Being Meant For The Sanyasis Only.

I Do Believe That Where There Is A Choice Between Cowardice And Non-violence I Would Advise Violence. Thus When My Eldest Son Asked Me What He Should Have Done, Had He Been Present When I Was Almost Fatally Assaulted In 1908, Whether He Should Have Run Away And Seen Me Killed Or Whether He Should Have Used His Physical Force Which He Could And Wanted To Use, And Defended Me, I Told Him That It Was His Duty To Defend Me Even By Using Violence.

The Yajna Of Our Age And For Us Is The Spinning Wheel.

Manliness Consists Not In Bluff, Bravado Or Loneliness. It Consists In Daring To Do The Right Thing And Facing Consequences Whether It Is In Matters Social, Political Or Other. It Consists In Deeds Not Words.

My Own Opinion Is That Just As Fundamentally Man And Woman Are One, Their Problems Must Be One In Essence.
