' What I want to achieve--what I have been striving and pining to achieve these thirty years--is self-realization, to see God face to face, to attain moksha.'

He also candidly discusses his personal views on celibacy, fasting and vegetarianis, alongside tyhe struggle against colonialism amd racism.
