All of ours souls could stand to steep in the tea of faith, all of our minds should be cultivated in the garden of truth and knowledge. God is unfathomable and unknown to the vast majority of mankind. He is everywhere. He is most elusive. He is the nearest to us, if we would but know the fact. This little book is filled with many truths, an enjoyable book to read.

I don't know if this was an editorial choice (i.e., removing anything about Gandhi's life and actions to make the text more accessible), or whether his writing really was about as I got more out of the introduction than I did Gandhi's writings.

I don't mean to malign Gandhi at all; I had high expectations after reading the introduction and Wikipedia page. But these were the kinds of things I was attempting to write as an angsty and struggling 20-year-old.

However, it was a quick read and well-written, so three stars it is. ...more
