MY EXPERIMENT WITH TRUTH

PROFILE:AN AUTO BIOGRAPHY BY M.K.GANDHI
INTRODUCTION:
The Story of my Experiments With Truth” is a real account of experiments with truth or what is percieved to be the truth. Gandhi, the youngest of three sons was born and brought up in Porbandar, India. His love for truth and respect for all humanity was put in him by his father who was a lover of his clan, truthful, brave and generous…” His mother too left him with an outstanding impression of saintliness” as “she was deeply religious”, a woman devoted to prayer and fasting. It’s on this background that Mr. Gandhi built his life of Experiments on.
REVIEW:
Gandhi makes it clear at the beginning of the book that this is the only way to gain truth. Not to be strongly influenced by others. His agreements and fondness of other theologians really only comes after his experiments. They have to agree with him first. As you begin to read this book, you are on a journey. It’s like being a Martian or being from another planet simply because Gandhi will simply not take anything as truth unless he has experimented with it himself. He was very much the spiritual scientist. This book is also very easy reading. The chapters are short enough to stop and come back to as well. And it is journey which nearly killed himself SMOKING! Gandhi makes clear that anybody can follow. You can’t really follow this man’s experiments. He wants you to do your own experiments. So this book is really quite an adventure. Gandhi’s politics, as he makes clear in this book, really stem from his experiments in truth. You can begin yourself. Wake up, tell your wife she is fat, and see what happens! Gandhi came to the conclusion of always practicing “ahimsa”. He would practice it over and over again to see if it worked. And he came to the conclusion that it did. As he once said, “Ahimsa is heaven”. Ahimsa means non-violence in thought, word, and deed. One can still defend oneself while loving one’s enemy. He saw “satya”, or truth as synonymous with non-violance. This man stole at one point, eat meat, was far from celibacy. Buy and read this fabulous scientific inquiry into “How to Live”. Then start experimenting for yourself. Good luck on your journey. And please be careful with your duty and remember Gandhi’s word for ever.
