The only real and reliable guarantee for khadi would be honesty, truthfulness and sincerity of khadi workers.
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.
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.
Wearing khadi was a badge of honour. It was something one was proud to do.
The khadi spirit means also an infinite patience.
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.
Let us buy atleast one product of Khadi fabric and help light a lamp of Diwali in the homes of the poor.
Through Khadi we teach the people the art of civil obedience to an institution which they have built up for themselves.
