"Wir lieben die romantische Liebe. Dabei ist sie ein sehr einfacher Trieb, eine Art blinder Wahnsinn."
"Rastloses Sehnen! // Wünschendes Herz, // Immer nur Thränen, // Klage und Schmerz? // Auch ich bin mir schwellender Triebe bewußt! // Wer stillet mir endlich die drängende Lust?"
"Ich bete an die Macht der Liebe, // die sich in Jesu offenbart; // Ich geb mich hin dem freien Triebe, // wodurch ich Wurm geliebet ward; // Ich will, anstatt an mich zu denken, // ins Meer der Liebe mich versenken."
"Flirten, das ist oft verlorene TriebesmĂĽh."
"Die Taten folgen der Gesinnung, die Gesinnung folgt den Trieben."
"Der Trieb der menschlichen Natur, das Interesse, das dem Staate zu Grunde liegt, ist ĂĽberall dasselbe."
"Der Mensch hat neben dem Trieb der Fortpflanzung und dem, zu essen und zu trinken, zwei Leidenschaften: Krach zu machen und nicht zuzuhören."
"Betrug: die Triebkraft des Geschäfts, die Seele der Religion, der Köder der Liebeswerbung und die Grundlage politischer Macht."
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.
