Word Translation
 
"Mankind would die if there is no exhibition of divine in man.  Moral authority comes without seeking.  Anger is the enemy of Ahimsa, pride is a monster that swallows Ahimsa.  If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time.  A living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.  Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God.  Real suffering,  bravely borne, melts even a heart of stone.  Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice is the greatest vice.  Constant development is the law of life.  Manliness consists in deeds, not in words.  Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery.  To me art, to be truly great, must be universal in appeal.  Non-violence springs from love, cowardice springs from hate.  Faith
transcends reason.  There should be truth in thought, in speech and in action.  An ounce of practice is worth more than a tonner of preaching.  Courage is a matter of heart.  I need no inspiration other than nature.  Destruction is not the law of human beings.  God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.  I look only to the good qualities
of men, not being faultless myself.  In one, who has Ahimsa in him, it becomes part of his very nature.  The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly."
