Identification with everything that lives is impossible without
self-purification; without self-purification, the observance of the
law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream; God can never be realised
by one who is not pure of heart. Self-purification, therefore, must
mean purification in all walks of life. And purification being
highly infectious, purification of oneself necessarily leads to the
purification of one's surroundings. But the path to
self-purification is hard and steep. To attain perfect purity, one
has to become absolutely passion-free in thought, speech and
action; to rise above the opposing currents of love and hatred,
attachment and repulsion. I know that I have not in me as yet the
triple purity, in spite of constant ceaseless striving for it. That
is why the world's praise fails to move me; indeed it very often
stings me. To conquer the subtle passions seems to me far harder
than the physical conquest of the world by the force of arms. Ever
since my return to India, I have had experiences of the dormant
passions lying hidden within me. The knowledge of them has made me
feel humiliated though not defeated. The experiences and
experiments have sustained me and given me great joy. But I know I
still have before me a difficult path to traverse. I must reduce
myself to zero. So long as a man does not of his own free will put
himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for
him. Ahimsa is the farthest limit of humility.
