His Words
" I could not be leading a religious life unless I identified myself with the whole of mankind, and that I could not do unless I took part in politics. The whole gamut of man's activities today constitutes an indivisible whole. You cannot divide social, economic, political and purely religious work into watertight compartments. I do not know any religion apart from human activity. It provides a moral basis to all other activities which they would otherwise lack, reducing life to a maze of 'sound and fury signifying nothing'. "
So much has already been said and written about Mahatma Gandhi. The depth of his personality and range of his work also make it difficult to decide what aspect of his life or work to focus on. There are four aspects of his thought and message, which are of increasing relevance in today’s world. Tolerance, Pluralism The first is his belief in tolerance.
