The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 4, Chapter 29 Summary

Domestic Satyagraha

  • Gandhi tells the story of a time when Kasturbai, his wife, became ill and he advised her to give up salt and pulses.
  • She refuses and says he'd be unable to do that, at which point he immediately vows not to have any for a year.
  • He finds the denial subdues his senses.
  • All self-denial is morally good for the soul, he concludes.
