Builders of Modern India. Mahatma Gandhi. An Essay in Appreciation.

1925

He read through the whole of the Bible and came to see the greatness of Christ's moral teaching as given in the Sermon on the Mount. [...] At once he took the opportunity of the gathering in his honour to warn his countrymen of the impending danger and to protest against the passing of the Bill. [...] He came to his countrymen simply as a public servant willing to take his place by the side of the lowest and the poorest and to suffer hardness with them and they welcomed him as the Mahatma of modern India. [...] It may help towards an understanding of the part he played and of the extraordinary influence which he came to wield if we pause to consider the convictions and the habits of living and thinking which he brought with him out of his African experience. [...] Gandhi does from the luxuries and even the comforts for which some men sell their souls there is something inexpressibly revolting about the multiplying of possessions and complication of needs which reduce the life of many both in the East and in the West to a sordid struggle.
