Hey mate here is your answer..........,
I would not weep over the disappearance of machinery or consider it a calamity. But I have no design upon machinery as such.
Reinstatement of Man
The supreme consideration is man. The machine should not tend to make atrophied the limbs of man.
I have the conviction within me that, when all these achievements of the machine age will have disappeared, these our handicrafts will remain; when all exploitation will have ceased, service and honest labour will remain. It is because this faith sustains me that I am going on with my work.... Indomitable faith in their work sustained men like Stephenson and Columbus. Faith in my work sustains me.
Faith in my work sustains me, but there is also added to it the conviction that all the other things that seem to challenge my faith are doomed.... I am clear that, whilst this machine age aims at converting men into machines, I am aiming at reinstating man turned machine into his original estate.
(H, 29-8-1936, p. 228)
Ideally ... I would rule out all machinery, even as I would reject this very body, which is not helpful to salvation, and seek the absolute liberation of the soul. From that point of view, I would reject all machinery, but machines will remain because, like the body, they are inevitable. The body itself...is the purest piece of mechanism; but if it is a hindrance to the highest flights of the soul, it has to be rejected.
- Evil of Machinery
Machinery is like a snake-hole which may contain from one to a hundred snakes. Where there is machinery, there are large cities; where there are large cities, there are tram-cars and railways. And there only does one see electric light. Honest physician will tell you that where means of artificial locomotion have increased, the health of the people has suffered. I remember that, when in a European town there was scarcity of money, the receipts of the tramway company, of the lawyers and of the doctors went down, and the people were less unhealthy.
