The Real Difficulty Is That People Have No Idea Of What Education Truly Is. We Assess The Value Of Education In The Same Manner As We Assess The Value Of Land Or Of Shares In The Stock-exchange Market. We Want To Provide Only Such Education As Would Enable The Student To Earn More. We Hardly Give Any Thought To The Improvement Of The Character Of The Educated. The Girls, We Say, Do Not Have To Earn; So Why Should They Be Educated? As Long As Such Ideas Persist There Is No Hope Of Our Ever Knowing The True Value Of Education.

It Is Not Given To Man To Know The Whole Truth. His Duty Lies In Living Up To The Truth As He Sees It, And In Doing So, To Resort To The Purest Means, I.e., To Non-violence. God Alone Knows Absolute Truth. Therefore, I Have Often Said, Truth Is God. It Follows That Man, A Finite Being, Cannot Know Absolute Truth. Nobody In This World Possesses Absolute Truth. This Is God's Attribute Alone. Relative Truth Is All We Know. Therefore, We Can Only Follow The Truth As We See It. Such Pursuit Of Truth Cannot Lead Anyone Astray.
