Trying to co-operate with your partner, and in my quest for a better way of doing so, you will be guided by the people in the process of being able to: those who are presenting that’s it at the stages of the worship, and everyone who comes from calling God is always able to judge one’s reason.

Towards Global Togetherness by Dr. L.M. Singhvi
Global Togetherness is an idea the time of which has come. It is an idea which has been evolving for many millennia.
The idea permeated the Vedic and the Sramana vision of life in India. ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ was the credo of the liberal, large-hearted, enlightened, emancipated, and civilizational mindset of India in its radiant magnanimity. The seers of India envisioned in their concept of global togetherness the oneness of the human family, the foundation of which was the sharing and caring philosophy of reciprocity, interdependence and affirmative tolerance based on an understanding and acceptance of diversities.
TOWARDS NEW EDUCATION by M. K. GANDHI
I would like to say to the diligent reader of my writings and to others who are interested in them that I am not at all concerned with appearing to be consistent. In my search after Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new things. Old as I am in age, I have no feeling that I have ceased to grow inwardly or that my growth will stop at the dissolution of the flesh. What I am concerned with is my readiness to obey the call of Truth, my God, from moment to moment, and, therefore, when anybody finds any inconsistency between any two writings of mine, if he has still faith in my sanity, he would do well to choose the later of the two on the same subject.

Towards Quality Education in India by Dr. Binodanand Jha
Gone are the days when teachers used to be in the centre of education but now the focus is on the students. Now, teachers cannot carry out punishments and act with extreme strictness. Today, there is no co-relation between age and knowledge. With the explosion of facts and information nobody can claim that by virtue of age or by the mere fact that they were born earlier, they know more. Now, the things will move with courtesy and humbleness. The present teacher cannot be student’s father. He should prepare himself to play the role of an elder brother/sister or of a friend who will facilitate and encourage the child. The knowledge acquired in this environment will travel long distance with the student. Teachers will develop shared understanding with which knowledge will be created.
For the holistic development of a child, it is imperative to develop a book which not only deals with the principles and innovations but also throws light on the practical approach of teaching skills. Such a book should emphasise on the importance of learning skills rather than memorising by rote mechanism. If a child is unable to develop learning skills then we would have to reorient our teaching techniques.
A complete book on how to impart quality education & knowledge to students.

Trikon Ke Tinon Kon by Harish Pathak
सच कितने भी पहरों में कैद हो, अँधेरे की कितनी भी परतें उसे दबाएँ, पर उसका विकिरण, उसका तेज सबको चीरकर बाहर आ ही जाता है, सबसे ऊपर, सबसे अलग एक सच वह है, जो अक्षरों के साथ कागज पर उतरता है। एक सच वह भी है, जो अक्षरों से दूर चुपके से खड़ा होता है। यही चुप-चुप खड़ा सच हमें अहसास कराता है कि धूप चाहे बदली में ढक गई हो, सूरज चाहे हाँफने लगा हो, धरती बंजर से हरियाली में तब्दील हो गई हो, नीला जल अपनी शिनाख्त खो बैठा हो, हवाओं ने अपनी शीतलता कम कर दी हो, पर मैं वहीं हूँ—अपनी जगह विश्वास के न हिलनेवाले पाँवों पर खड़ा।
प्रस्तुत पुस्तक में कल का सच, आज भी उसी विकृति और विद्रूपता के साथ मौजूद है। आज भी याददाश्त न खोनेवाले दिमागों में दर्ज है कि कैसे एक पवित्र जल में स्नान की चाह रखनेवाली महारानी को देखने उमड़ी भीड़ पचपन लोगों की जल-समाधि ले बैठी थी, कैसे मृत घोषित कर दिया गया एक संगीतकार आज भी अपनी धुनें बिखेर रहा है, कि गुंडे आज भी अखबारों और छोटे परदे पर रोज-रोज जगह पा रहे हैं, कि श्वसुर को मात देनेवाला एक दामाद वक्त से ही मात खा बैठा, कि हत्यारों की कहानी गढ़ते-गढ़ते बीहड़ों के प्रतिनायक जीवन के बीहड़ में आज कितने लाचार और पस्त हैं।
ये रपटें,जो समय-समय पर विभिन्न पत्र-पत्रिकाओं में प्रकाशित हुईं—यह बताने में पूरी तरह सक्षम हैं कि देश, काल और मौसम के बदलने से न तो जीवन मरता है, न सच मिटता है। मनोरंजक, ज्ञानपरक एवं कौतूहलपूर्ण रचनाओं का संग्रह है— त्रिकोण के तीनों कोण।

Triumphs of Invention and Discovery in Art and Science by J. Hamilton Fyfe
It is not difficult to account for the pre-eminence, generally assigned to the victories of war over the victories of peace in popular history. The noise and ostentation which attend the former, the air of romance which surrounds them,—lay firm hold of the imagination, while the directness and rapidity with which, in such transactions, the effect follows the cause, invest them with a peculiar charm for simple and superficial observers.

Trusteeship by M. K. GANDHI
It is perfectly possible for an individual to adopt this way of life without having to wait for others to do so. And if an individual can observe a certain rule of conduct, it follows that a group of individuals can do likewise. It is necessary for me to emphasize the fact that no one need wait for anyone else in order to adopt a right course. Men generally hesitate to make a beginning if they feel that the objective cannot be had in its entirety. Such an attitude of mind is in reality a bar to progress.
