Quote #4
He [Gandhi's father] had, besides, Musalman and Parsi friends, who would talk to him about their own faiths, and he would listen to them always with respect, and often with interest. Being his nurse, I often had a chance to be present at these talks. These many things combined to inculcate in me a toleration for all faiths. (1.10.8)
Gandhi developed tolerance for all religions very early on in life. It's a striking contrast to his assassin, who rejected Gandhi's tolerant approach to Muslims.
Quote #5
Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal. (1.21.7)
Well, this is pretty much what it means to say someone is "otherworldly." To many, Gandhi may seem to be not of this world. The division between appearance and reality was fundamental to how he viewed the world.
Quote #6
What, I thought, can be the meaning of Mr. Baker's interest in me? What shall I gain from his religious co-workers? How far should I undertake the study of Christianity? How was I to obtain literature about Hinduism? And how was I to understand Christianity in its proper perspective without thoroughly knowing my own religion? I could come to only one conclusion: I should make a dispassionate study of all that came to me, and deal with Mr. Baker's group as God might guide me; I should not think of embracing another religion before I had fully understood my own. (2.10.20)
Many people simply assume the religion they grow up in is the correct one. Gandhi decides early in life to make a serious study of all the religions he comes across before deciding which one is for him.
