Hinduism is a living organism. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. Knowledge is limitless and so also the application of truth. Everyday we add to our knowledge of the power of Atman (soul) and we shall keep on doing so.

— Mahatma Gandhi Posthumous publications (1950)

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

A non-violent soldier of freedom will covet nothing for himself, he fights only for the freedom of his country.

"An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so."

The ideally non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy. That State is the best governed which is governed the least.

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.
