The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 4, Chapter 5 Summary

Result of Introspection

  • Gandhi helps his theosophist friends understand Hinduism. The result is that Gandhi spends time thinking on the meaning of the Gita.
  • The Gita leads him to see that he must act as a trustee over possessions, not as someone who owns possessions. He must use his possessions for the benefit of the community.
  • This new stance causes him to stop giving money to his brother and to give it to the community instead.
  • His bro is upset, but at the end of his life, he sees that Gandhi's attitude is the correct one.
