I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while i hold by my own religion, i should hold other religions as dear as hinduism. so we can only pray, if we were hindus, not that a christian should become a hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a hindu should become a better hindu, a muslim a better muslim, and a christian a better christian.

I Came To The Conclusion Long Ago

Christian Spiritual Prayer

More From Mahatma Gandhi

Urge all of your men to pray, not alone in church, but everywhere. pray when driving. pray when fighting. pray alone. pray with others. pray by night and pray by day. pray for the cessation of immoderate rains, for good weather for battle.pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression. pray for victory. pray for our army, and pray for peace. we must march together, all out for god.

After long study and experience, i have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. error is neither mind nor one of mind's faculties. error is the contradiction of truth. error is a belief without understanding. error is unreal because untrue. it is that which stemma to be and is not. if error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. thus we should continue to lose the standard of truth.

We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. it is a way of bitter suffering. but then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is god, the indivisible. and suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.

It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue for a time to pray; but we must patiently, believingly, continue in prayer until we obtain an answer; and further we have not only to continue in prayer unto the end, but we have also to believe that god does hear us, and will answer our prayers. most frequently we fail in not continuing in prayer until the blessing is obtained, and in not expecting the blessing.

I came to the conclusion long ago . . . that all religions were true, and also that all had some error in them.

We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but god knows best, and has ruled otherwise. we shall yet acknowledge his wisdom and our own error therein.

The bible is the proper book for men. there the truth is distinguished from error far more clearly than anywhere else, and one finds something new in it every day. for twenty-eight years, since i became a doctor, i have now constantly read and preached the bible; and yet i have not exhausted it but find something new in it every day.

The fossil record implies trial and error, an inability to anticipate the future, features inconsistent with an efficient great designer (although not with a designer of a more remote and indirect temperament)

The only ethical principle which has made science possible is that the truth shall be told all the time. if we do not penalize false statements made in error, we open up the way for false statements by intention. and a false statement of fact, made deliberately, is the most serious crime a scientist can commit.
