The purpose of life is undoubtedly to know oneself. We cannot do it unless we learn to identify ourselves with all that lives. The sum-total of that life is God.
Life is one indivisible whole.
Your life is your message.
One's everyday life is never capable of being separated from his spiritual being.
My life is dedicated to the service of Indians through the religion of nonviolence which I believe to be the root of Hinduism.
The sum of all that lives is God.
The Law which governs all life is God.
The music of life is in danger of being lost in the music of the voice.
Purity of life is the highest and truest art.
Let our lives be open books for all to study.
Let your life be your message.
For me, humanitarian service, or rather service of all that lives, is religion. And I draw no distinction between such religion and politics.
