Mohan-Mala - Mahatma Gandhi

Mohan-MalaOctober 28Nature is relentless and will have full revenge for any such violation of herlaws. Moral results can only be produced by moral restraints. All otherrestraints defeat the very purpose for which they are intended.Ibid.October 29The world depends for its existence on the act of generation, and as the worldis the playground of God and reflection of His glory, the act of generationshould be controlled for the ordered growth of the world.Auto, P. 204October 30The conquest of lust is the highest endeavour of a man or woman’s existence.Without overcoming lust man cannot hope to rule over self. And without ruleover self there can be no Swaraj or Ramaraj. Rule of all without rule of oneselfwould prove to be as deceptive and disappointing as painted toy-mango,charming to look at outwardly but hollow and empty within.H, 21 Nov. 1936October 31The ideal that marriage aims at is that of spiritual union through the physical.The human love that it incarnates is intended to serve as a stepping stone todivine or universal love.YI, 21 May 1931www.mkgandhi.org Page 82
