π Swaraj is my birthright, and I shall have it!
π Progress is implied in independence. Without
self-government neither industrial progress is possible, nor the educational
scheme will be useful to the nation…To make efforts for India’s freedom is more
important than social reforms.
π If God is put up with accountability, I will not
call him God
π It may be providence’s will that the cause I
represent may prosper more by my suffering than by my remaining free.
π It is true that lack of rain causes famine but it
is also true that the people of India have not the strength to fight the evil.
π The poverty of India is wholly due to the present
rule.
π Our Nation is like a
tree of which the original trunk is swarajya and the branches are swadeshi and
boycott.
π India is being bled till only the skeleton remains
π The geologist takes up the history of the earth at
the point where the archaeologist leaves it, and carries it further back into
remote antiquity.
π If we trace the history of any nation backwards
into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which
eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness.”
π Religion and practical life are not different. To
take Sanyasa (renunciation) is not to abandon life. The real spirit is to make
the country your family work together instead of working only for your own. The
step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God.”
