![]() Ever since my return to India, I have had experiences of the dormant passions lying hidden within me. ![]() To conquer the subtle passions seems to me far harder than the physical conquest of the world by the force of arms. That is why the world's praise fails to move me indeed it very often stings me. I know that I have not in me as yet the triple purity, in spite of constant ceaseless striving for it. To attain perfect purity, one has to become absolutely passion-free in thought, speech and action to rise above the opposing currents of love and hatred, attachment and repulsion. But the path to self-purification is hard and steep. ![]() And purification being highly infectious, purification of oneself necessarily leads to the purification of one's surroundings. Self-purification, therefore, must mean purification in all walks of life. Identification with everything that lives is impossible without self-purification without selfpurification, the observance of the law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream God can never be realised by one who is not pure of heart. I simply want to tell the story of mynumerous experiments with truth, and as my life consists of nothing but those experiments, it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography. It is not my purpose to attempt a real autobiography. ![]()
