If we have the khadi spirit in us, then we should surround ourselves with simplicity in every walk of life.
The khadi spirit means also an infinite patience.
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 to me is the symbol of unity of Indian humanity, of its economic freedom and equality and, therefore, ultimately, in the poetic expression of Jawaharlal Nehru, 'the livery of India's freedom'.
Through Khadi we teach the people the art of civil obedience to an institution which they have built up for themselves.
Khadi mentality means decentralization of the production and distribution of the necessaries of life.
Khadi work without the mastery of the science of khadi will be love's labour lost in terms of Swaraj.
I would ask you to come in Khadi, for Khadi links you with the fallen and the down-trodden.
