`This much I can say with assurance, as a result of all my experiments, that a perfect vision of Truth can only follow a complete realization of Ahimsa [harmlessness, or loving-kindness]. To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face one must be able to love the meanest of creation as oneself.' Mahatma Gandhi's aim in writing this autobiography was to give an account of his spiritual progress towards truth. Absolute Truth was his sovereign principle and non-violence the method of pursuing it. In politics it meant freedom from foreign domination, within Hindu society it was the breaking down of barriers raised by caste and custom, in society it was living close to nature. In this book you can discover how, by making himself the servant of Truth and continually striving to purify himself of any other pressure or influence, whether inner or outer, Gandhi was able to bring into the world a power which had never before been experienced on such a large scale, the power of Ahimsa. 454pp, 128mm x 198mm, softback, 2001
