“Let it be granted, that according to the letter of the Gita it is possible to say that warfare is consistent with renunciation of fruit.

Do not the figures make it clear that not the English, but the Indians, have enslaved themselves?”

“I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while I hold by my own religion, I should hold other religions as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we were Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a Hindu should become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, and a Christian a better Christian.”
