"Wer stark und wer kaum mehr liebt, ist gleich schwer zu befriedigen."
"Wenn Ihr Euer Verlangen befriedigt hättet, so weiß ich wahrhaftig und zweifle nicht, Ihr würdet bald von mir abgelassen haben, und ich wäre sehr übel dran."
"Unsere Sehnsucht wird immer größer, je weniger wir sie befriedigen können."
"Um die Gesellschaft (die natürlich aus den Nichtarbeitern besteht) glücklich und das Volk selbst in kümmerlichsten Zuständen zufrieden zu machen, ist es nötig, daß die große Mehrheit sowohl unwissend als arm bleibt. Kenntnisse erweitern und vervielfachen unsere Bedürfnisse, und je weniger ein Mann bedarf, desto leichter können seine Notwendigkeiten befriedigt werden."
"Sucht nur die Menschen zu verwirren, // Sie zu befriedigen ist schwer."
"Die Leidenschaft der höchsten Liebe findet wohl auf Erden ihre Befriedigung nie."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
