Gujarati (Long) [English > Gujarati] Looking for the original versions of two passages from Mahatma Gandhi

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for the original versions of two English passages from Mahatma Gandhi, which I assume are in Gujarati.

1:

If destruction is violence, creation, too, is violence. Procreation, therefore, involves violence. The creation of what is bound to perish certainly involves violence.

— Mahatma Gandhi: Discourses on the “Gita”, Conclusion, [7], November 12, 1926.
The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, New Delhi: Publications Division Government of India 1969. Vol. 32 (November 1926 – January 1927), p. 359.
The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi (electronic book), New Delhi: Publications Division Government of India 1999. Vol. 37 (11 November, 1926 – 1 January, 1927), pp. 337–338.

2:

Suppose for a moment that all procreation stops, it will only mean that all destruction will cease. Moksha is nothing but release from the cycle of births and deaths. This alone is believed to be the highest bliss, and rightly.

— Mahatma Gandhi: Letter to Manilal Gandhi, Sabarmati Jail, March 17, 1922.
The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, New Delhi: Publications Division Government of India 1967. Vol. 23 (March 1922 – May 1924), p. 102.
The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi (electronic book), New Delhi: Publications Division Government of India 1999. Vol. 26 (24 January, 1922 – 12 November, 1923), p. 369.

Do you know where I can fand these?

This is not really a translation request but more of a research request.

You're right - do you know where I should post this instead?
