________________ 152 Memoirs about Shrimad by Gandhiji accomplish benevolent responsibilities only when we devote ourselves completely to the task, almost to the extent of madness. Let us conclude this matter here only. It has been a general belief that persons who are religious are usually very simple and can be easily deceived. They have little understanding of the worldly affairs. If that were true, Lord Krishna and Lord Rama should be included amongst the ordinary people. Raichandbhai used to say that it would be impossible to deceive those who possess divine knowledge. It is quite possible that a religious minded, God-fearing person who practises highest morals in his life may not necessarily be a self-realised person, but the one who seeks liberation, must possess in him a combination of both self-realisation and morality. One who is self-realised would never tolerate hypocrisy or false pretensions. Falsehood cannot be part of truth. Similarly, violence would disappear in presence of non-violence, whenever there is frankness and simplicity, darkness or deceit are eliminated. Those who are enlightened and spiritual would at once recognise the deceit in a fraudulent person and compassion would arise in their hearts. One who has experienced the soul, can certainly recognise the true nature of people. I cannot say that such was always the case with Shrimad Rajchandra. Some persons did deceive him in the name of religion. Such instances do not prove the inadequacy of the spiritual rule. It only proves how difficult it is to possess full and perfect knowledge. Thus, in spite of these exceptions, I have not come across any person other than Shrimad Rajchandra in whom one would find a complete and perfect combination of social awareness and religious sentiments of the highest order.
