________________ 156 Memoirs about Shrimad by Gandhiji kept away from the bickering that went on between different religions. He would study the essence of each religion and present the highlights to its follower. He emphasised the same principle in his correspondence with me during my stay in South Africa. I have always believed that every religion is perfect from the viewpoint of its disciples but all religions have their perfections and imperfections. However, after a point, religious scriptures appear to be a bondage of some kind or the other. Raichandbhai always believed that there is no reason to renounce the religion into which one is born. Freedom from bondage is possible in any religion. Attaining the freedom means being free of all likes and dislikes and living in perfect equanimity.
