非暴力と真実の探求が彼の人生の大きなテーマ
時には失敗を犯しながらも、目標に向かって歩んでいく生き方に感銘を受けます。

表現がわかりにくい部分があるのと、５００ページを超える長さが読み終えるのに若干の障害ではありましたが、何とか読み終えました。

偉大な人間の内面をかいま見て、自らの人生を豊かにする事が出来る、、、筈。 (2007-10-06)

In his own words, Gandhi takes us through some of the experiences in his life, with each chapter forming at least one important learning lesson to him. All experiences, whether good or bad, had a positive learning lesson on him and contributed to his goal of seeking the truth.

One of his main beliefs was using non-violence as a means of protesting against acts of oppression and using international law to seek justice. This meant he never raised his fists or lowered himself to barbarism however much he was provoked, violated or attacked. In fact this seems to be the opposite attitude demonstrated by all terrorists and most countries (West, Middle East and East) where the belief is that violence and war works. As Gandhi says "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".

As we have now entered the third of the world wars, where the weapons are horrific and the consequences unimaginable, Gandhi's words have never been more important. All politicians and world leaders should read this book. In fact everyone should read this book. (2004-10-30)
