Summary

This quote suggests that nostalgia for one's old home is often a manifestation of a longing for the carefree innocence and joy of childhood. Returning to a familiar physical space may reveal that it has changed or lost its charm, leaving one to realize that it was not the actual house that was missed, but the memories and happiness associated with that time in their life. It emphasizes the significance of the experiences and emotions connected to a place rather than the place itself.

Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much

Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
