Some quotes from this book:

Ahimsa is the highest ideal. It is meant for the brave, never for the cowardly. Eating for the sake of pleasure is a sin like animal indulgence for the sake of it. The real meaning of economic equality is 'to each according to his need'. Without prayer there is no inward peace.
