Gandhi's Inspirer
During his spiritual crisis Gandhi, after studying one of Shrimad Rajchandra's letter, concluded that Hinduism recognises the need to serve not only humans but all living beings.
If this principle is not recognised in modern time by those born as Hindus, it does not mean that the principle should be ignored. However, one should put it into practice and research the Hindu religion to verify it.
This is one of the reasons why Gandhiji always considered himself to be a universal Hindu. To understand the true Gandhiji, you would need to bear in mind the thinking of Shrimad Rajchandra.
