Between political struggles and his being a vegetarian, I was looking for a bit more on the spiritual side. After all, he was called Mahatma. Which means great soul. (This review has to be short.)Gandhi was confronted by Christians who wanted to sell him their twisted idea of Christianity. Actually he was greatly moved by Tolstoy's work; Tolstoy hated how Christians distort the teachings of Jesus, and are so anxious to wage war. Jesus taught 'love thy neighbor' and "turn the other cheek".He struggled with diet, he refused to eat meat, eggs, and refused even milk. In the end he tried to subsist on fruit juices. Gandhi believed that abstinence was important in realizing God, yet he was disgusted by his own lust and how he treated his wife.
