Truth is one, paths are many.
An India free from exploitation from within and without must prosper with astonishing rapidity.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.
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.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
