The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 3, Chapter 7 Summary

Brahmacharya—I

  • Our hero begins to think of taking the brahmacharya vow, which means giving up sex altogether. Forever.
  • He says vows don't close the door to freedom but open them. He says self-control is difficult, and he initially failed at it. But, he comes to believe that caring for children is inconsistent with wanting to do public work.
