Truth Quotes
-
All are before me! I behold The House, the Brotherhood austere! - And what am I, that I am here?

Even now their whispers pierce the gloom: What dost thou in this living tomb?
Matthew Arnold

Satyagraha is the pursuit of truth. My grandfather believed that truth should be the cornerstone of everybody's life and that we must dedicate our lives to pursuing truth, to finding out the truth in our lives. And so his entire philosophy was the philosophy of life. It was not just a philosophy for conflict resolution, but something that we have to imbibe in our life and live it all the time so that we can improve and become better human beings.
Arun Manilal Gandhi
