I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test:
Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away.
- Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it
- In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart
