Khadi has been conceived as the foundation and the image of ahimsa. A real khadi-wearer will not utter an untruth. A real khadi-wearer will harbour no violence, no deceit, no impurity.
I would ask you to come in Khadi, for Khadi links you with the fallen and the down-trodden.
Khadi work without the mastery of the science of khadi will be love's labour lost in terms of Swaraj.
Coal is not dear for the coal-miner who can use it there and then, nor is khadi dear for the villager who manufactures his own khadi.
Khadi is the sun of the village solar system.
The khadi spirit means also an infinite patience.
Wearing khadi was a badge of honour. It was something one was proud to do.
Khadi will be the sun of the whole industrial solar system.
All the other industries will receive warmth and sustenance from khadi industry.
Khadi mentality means decentralization of the production and distribution of the necessaries of life.
For a firm believer in swadeshi, there need be no Pharisaical self-satisfaction in wearing khadi.
The khadi spirit means fellow-feeling with every human being on earth.
Khadi will cease to have any value in my eyes if it does not usefully employ the millions.
If we have the khadi spirit in us, then we should surround ourselves with simplicity in every walk of life.
The imprimatur of truthfulness does not guarantee truthfulness. People should know better. But they don't.
Through Khadi we teach the people the art of civil obedience to an institution which they have built up for themselves.
