M. K. Gandhi’s comment on Love, God, Truth and Patriotism!

“I would say for those who say God is love. God is love. But deep down in my heart God may be love, but God is Truth. If it possible for the human tongue to give the fullest description of God, for myself I have come to the conclusion that God is Truth. But two years ago I went a step further and said Truth is God. You will see the fine distinction between the two statements: God is Truth and Truth is God. And that conclusion I came after a continuous relentless search after Truth, which began so many years ago. I found that the nearest approach the Truth is love. But I found also that love has many meanings and human love in sense of passion becomes a degraded thing, but never found a double meaning in connection with Truth and not even the atheist have denied the necessity or power of Truth. And because of their reasoning that I saw that I was not going to say “God is Truth” but “Truth is God” the great difficulty that millions have taken the name of God and committed a nameless atrocities in the name of God. If you swim on the blossom of Truth, you must reduce yourself to a zero. Further than I may not tonight go along this fascinating Truth”.

M. K. Gandhion Patriotism

“I am not patriotic nor do I represent a separate culture, but the Truth. Some discrimination is going on in my surrounding and as a spiritual person it is my duty to stand against unjust. I am not doing it because I am an Indian. Even when I was in South Africa I have done the same. It is the duty of every spiritual person to raise a voice against unjust irrespective of nationality and creed. This is a spiritual culture. So, please do not consider me as a patriot because I am not!”
