Mahatma Gandhi on Religiousness
← Back to Mahatma Gandhi Profile
“Freedom from all attachment is the realization of God as Truth.”
“My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to make him a better follower of his own faith.”
“Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion —- human religion -— but any number of faiths.”
“Hinduism as I know it entirely satisfies my soul, fills my whole being … When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and when I see not one ray of light on the horizon, I turn to the Bhagavad Gita, and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. My life has been full of tragedies and if they have not left any visible and indelible effect on me, I owe it to the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.”
