the teaching of the Gita. the
great poem of Hindu scripture,
Gandhi renounced the world to
receive it back as the gift of God
ALI of his followers may not have
grasped his exact meaning, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sheean. but they
understood because of their per-
vasive religious awareness.
His Political Genius.
Out of Gandhi's devout and
mystical nature flowed his polit-
ical genius. After his 20-year
crusade in South Africa for the
oppressed Indians, he returned to
India, where ne taught his unique
doctrine Of non-violence and love
for both sides" A technique
which led to India's independence.
When Mr.. Sheean went to the
Mahatma in 1948. he did so. he
says, because in a sense he had

He joined the great funeral march

and sincerity of his experience
there can be no question. He
has stepped himself in Hindu lore

write this memorial to a man

While there is a commendable

still cling to the amorphous end

They run into blind alleys. They
