Letter No. XXXVIII

Love makes no distinction between man and man, between an Aryan and a Mlechchha, between a BrĂ¢hmana and a Pariah, nor even between a man and a woman. Love makes the whole universe as one’s own home. True progress is slow but sure.

Letter to Dr. Nanjunda Rao 01

Use the simplest language possible, and you will succeed. The main feature should be the teaching of principles through stories. Don’t make it metaphysical at all. As to the business part, keep it wholly in your hands. “Too many cooks spoil the broth.”

Letter to Shri Alasinga Perumal 04

No good thing can be done without obstruction. It is only those who persevere to the end that succeed. I believe that the Satya Yuga (Golden Age) will come when there will be one caste, one Veda, and peace and harmony. This idea of Satya Yuga is what would revivify India.
