Some quotes from Gandhi

Spiritual agnostics often like what revered philosphical leaders teach as opposed to the customs of mass religious organizations.

Some spiritual agnostics say that their spiritual beliefs can be summarized by the teachings of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, commonly called Mahatma Gandhi. Some famous quotes of Mahatma Gandhi that can be considered spiritually agnostic include:

** "Yes I am a Hindu. I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew."

** "It is impossible for me to reconcile myself to the idea of conversion after the style that goes on in India and elsewhere today. It is an error which is perhaps the greatest impediment to the world’s progress toward peace … Why should a Christian want to convert a Hindu to Christianity? Why should he not be satisfied if the Hindu is a good or godly man?" (Harijan 30 January 1937)

** "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." (The Times [London] (4 April 2005))

** "I came to the conclusion long ago … that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them, and whilst I hold by my own, I should hold others as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we are Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu … But our innermost prayer should be a Hindu should be a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, a Christian a better Christian." (Young India (19 January 1928))

** "...Satan's successes are the greatest when he appears with the name of God on his lips."

** "I consider western Christianity in its practical working a negation of Christ's Christianity."

** "Nonviolence is the first article of my faith."
