As Gandhiji's life
consisted in nothing but seeking to practise his religion to the best of his ability, an
attempt has been made in this volume to present to the reader extracts from Gandhiji's
writings and speeches, which will give a fairly full picture of Gandhiji's religion.
The task has not been easy. The very fact that religion was the mainspring
of Gandhiji's activities means that all that he said and did throughout his public career,
not only in the realm of religion proper but also in the spheres of politics, economics
and social life, become relevant to this volume. For him a religion which did not concern
itself with every side of life was no religion at all. That being the case, no account of
his religion can be adequate which does not present his entire philosophy of conduct,
whether in individual or social life. |
Consequently, we have had a very wide field
to cover. At the same time to keep this volume small, we have had to select very
carefully, seeking however in the process of' elimination not to leave out 'anything of
significance. |
