• The insistence on truthfulness does not disturb the freedom of the individual. The social obligation implied in Satyagraha turns the freedom of the individual into moral freedom. An atheist is free to say or to do what he likes, provided he does what he says and says what he does. So, in the context of social relations, the freedom of the individual is moral freedom.

• Satyagraha means insistence on what one knows to be the truth. The insistence implies the exercise of free will as the need of social obligation. If one is content to know the truth himself, he does not become a votary of Satyagraha. A Satyagrahi should not only know the truth but should insist upon it in social relations. So Satyagraha is activation of truthfulness.

• La mayor parte de la vida es tan aburrida que no hay nada que decir sobre ella, y los libros y charlas que la describen como interesante se ven obligados a exagerar, con la esperanza de justificar su propia existencia. Dentro de su capullo de trabajo u obligación social, el espíritu humano duerme la mayor parte del tiempo, registrando la distinción entre placer y dolor, pero no tan alerta como pretendemos. Hay periodos en el día más emocionante en los que no pasa nada, y aunque sigamos exclamando "me divierto" o "me horrorizo", no somos sinceros.

• The idea of any social obligation ... just the idea of it embarasses my thoughts for a day, and sometimes it's since the day before that I worry, and don't sleep well, and the real affair, when it happens, is absolutely insignificant and justifies nothing; and the case repeats itself and I never learn to learn.
