Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth - Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi

Rating: 3/5

these are just my notes from reading the book about halfway:
“the choice was now made in favour of vegetarianism, the spread of which ends for it in my mission.”
Just because he chose to be a vegetarian why is it natural for him that he should spread it, that others should follow?

Gandhi is very honest in this book, he mentions details that people would normally be shy to talk about. For example about his obsession with sex, other attitudes, some bad things he did in his youth.

If all the things that he is navigating in this book come from memory (no Journal) then I must saying he has excellent memory. Or, he is good at making up the details.

Page 317: “I saw that bhramacharya, which is so full of wonderful potency...”. This statement from the book implies that potency is desirable. Most people have sex, Gandhi wants to become portent by not doing it. But both (common people and Dundee) are united in their desire for potency. So at a deeper level aren't the two the same?
