If We Are To Teach Real Peace

Satyagraha Has Been Designed As An Effective Substitute For Violence.

God Has Been Described By All The Scriptures Of The World As Protector And Saviour Of The Sinner.

It Is Open To A War Resister To Judge Between The Combatants And Wish Success To The One Who Has Justice On His Side. By So Judging He Is More Likely To Bring Peace Between The Two Than By Remaining A Mere Spectator.

My Religion Is Based On Truth And Non-violence. Truth Is My God. Non-violence Is The Means Of Realising Him.

... 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.
