5.0 out of 5 stars My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him -- Gandhi, October 18, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth (Paperback)
I am not good with reviews, so i decided to write down all of Gandhi's quotes about truth :

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.


In short, Gandhi teaches that it doesn't take an army to learn the truth, nor does it take an army to become a part of that truth. His story explains that an individual dedicated to the empowerment of honesty and love can overcome any violence or hatred that can exist. It is within this context that one can use this book to change themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surpising autobiography, April 9, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth (Paperback)
MK Gahndi's style of autobiography is refreshing for a reader because it is quite observational and unlike other more dramatic styles.
I was surprised at the frank yet distant factual way his legal background infused his writing. With a nearly complete attention to facts, this volume gave me an accurate historic depiction, with the Mahatma's point of view never overshadowed his philosophy and 'exiperiments'.
