Social Consensus

Shared Vein Of Spiritual Understanding By Hindus, Moslem, Jains, Zoroastrians, Parsis and Christians.

“Hinduism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and all other religions teach that we should remain passive about worldly pursuits and active about godly pursuits, that we should set a limit to our worldly ambition and that our religious ambition should be illimitable.” (Chapter 8, Pg 36, para 4)

Issue Of Departure From Spiritualism

“Here I am not thinking of the Hindu or the Mohammedan or the Zoroastrian religion but of that religion which underlies all religions. We are turning away from God.” (Chapter 8, Pg 36, para 2)

Religious belief leads to peace

“If everyone will try to understand the core of his own religion and adhere to it,...there will be no room left for quarrelling.” (Chapter 10, Pg 46 ,para 7)

Hindu-Moslem tensions are not concrete, and peace comes due to spiritual understanding

“There are Hindu iconoclasts as there are Mohammedan. The more we advance in true knowledge, the better we shall understand that we need not be at war with those whose religion we may not follow.” (Chapter 10, Pg 43 ,para 5)

“Each party recognized that mutual fighting was suicidal, and that neither party would abandon its religion by force of arms. Both parties, therefore, decided to live in peace.” (Chapter 10, Pg 43 ,para 5)

Not fear own brethren (Indian blood), and work to repair the relationships

“Moreover, I must remind you who desire Home Rule that, after all, the Bhils, the Pindaris, and the Thugs are our own countrymen. To conquer them is your and my work. So long as we fear our own brethren, we are unfit to reach the goal.” (Chapter 8, Pg 38, para 12)

Bring the extremists and moderates to work together

“I would say to the moderates: "Mere petitioning is derogatory, we thereby confess inferiority. To say that British rule is indispensable, is almost a denial of the Godhead. We cannot say that anybody or anything is indispensable except God. Moreover, common sense should tell us that to state that, for the time being, the presence of the English in India is a necessity, is to make them conceited.” (Chapter 20, Pg 84 ,para 4)

“I would say to the extremists: I know that you want Home Rule for India;….You will have, therefore, to rely wholly on soul-force. You must not consider that violence is necessary at any stage for reaching our goal.“(Chapter 20, Pg 84 ,para 4)

Removal of old adages based upon superstition

“I am not pleading for a continuance of religious superstitions. We shall certainly fight them tooth and nail, but we can never do so by disregarding religion.” (Chapter 8, Pg 37, para 8)
