"나 보기가 역겨워 가실 때에는 죽어도 아니 눈물 흘리오리다."
"Miss you. Should I say it, I would only miss you more."
"I heard the Master preach. “Don’t be chained to love and suffering. Instead, cut the ties of love and you will rejoice in your heart.” So he said in a loud voice.The Master is quite a fool. He does not know: true it hurts to be tied with love, but it will hurt more to cut the ties of love, it will hurt more than even death. In the tight binding of love’s bonds lies their unbinding.Thus great liberation is to be had in the bonds themselves. My love, I was afraid the rope of your love might be weak so I doubled the strands of my love for you."
"Is your voice “silence”? When you are not singing a song then I hear your song’s melody clearly! Your voice is silence. Is your face “darkness”? When I shut my eyes then I see your face clearly! Your face is darkness.Is your shadow “light”? Your shadow is cast on the dark window after the moon has gone down! Your shadow is light."
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.
