Gandhi and Rajchandra: Question and Answers
be free from this attitude, even in dreams. Such are my answers to your questions in short and here I close my letter. In the end, I will advise you to closely study the book Shaddarshan-Samuchchaya and ponder over these questions a bit more seriously. In case you need any further information, you may please just write to me and I shall try to elucidate. The best thing of course is that we should meet and have a personal talk about these questions.
