Just as preservation of one's own culture does not mean contempt for that of others, but requires assimilation of the best that there may be in all of the other cultures, even so, should be the case with religion.

I will not go underground. I will not go into shelter. I will come out in the open and let the pilot see I have not a trace of ill will against him.… The longing in our hearts – that he will not come to harm – would reach up to him and his eyes would be opened. If those thousands who were done to death in Hiroshima, if they had died with that prayerful action. . .their sacrifice would not have gone in vain.

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 06:00:00 -0700

Fortunately for humanity, nonviolence pervades human life and is observed by men without special effort. If we had not born with one another, mankind would have been destroyed long ago. Ahimsa would thus appear to be the law of life, but we are thus far not entitled to any credit for observing it.

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 06:00:00 -0700

Some of the immediate and brilliant results of modern inventions are too maddening to resist. But I have no manner of doubt that the victory of man lies in that resistance. We are in danger of bartering away the permanent good for a momentary pleasure.

Day 291

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 06:00:00 -0700

A violent man’s activity is most visible, while it lasts. But it is always transitory.... Hitler and Mussolini on the one hand and Stalin on the other are able to show the immediate effectiveness of violence.… But the effects of Buddha’s non-violent action persist and are likely to grow with age. And the more it is practiced, the more effective and inexhaustible it becomes, and ultimately the whole world stands agape and exclaims, “a miracle has happened.” All miracles are due to the silent and effective working of invisible force. Nonviolence is the most invisible and the most effective.

Day 219

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 06:00:00 -0700

The world rests upon a bedrock of sayta or truth. Asatya or untruth also means nonexistent and satya or truth also means that which is. If untruth does not so much as exist, its victory is out of the question. And truth, being that which is, can never be destroyed. This is the doctrine of satyagraha in a nutshell.

Day 207

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0800
