God has no religion.

God has no religion.

God, Spiritual, Religion

Speech by H.E. Vicki Treadell, British High Commissioner to Malaysia, at 16th Gandhi Memorial Lecture, www.gov.uk. October 13, 2016.

The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.

Faith, Essence, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (1968). “The Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi: Satyagraha in South Africa”

Mankind is notoriously too dense to read the signs that God sends from time to time. We require drums to be beaten into our ears, before we should wake from our trance and hear the warning and see that to lose oneself in all, is the only way to find oneself.

Religion, Way, Ears

Mahatma Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi, Homer A. Jack (2005). “The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi”, p.26, Courier Corporation

There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.

Law, Religion, Orderliness

Address at Kingsley Hall, delivered 17 October 1931, London

Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.

Shining, Religion, Battle

Mohandas Karmchand Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi, V. Geetha (2004). “Soul Force: Gandhi's Writings on Peace”, p.224, Tara Publishing

My religion enables me, obliges me to imbibe all that is good in all the great religions of the earth.

Religion, Earth

Mahatma Gandhi (1962). “All Religions are True”

Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.

Education, Building Up, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (1962). “True Education”

No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth, will be the test of merit.

Character, Religion, Tests

Mahatma Gandhi (1993). “Gandhi on Nehru”

Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.

Birthday, Faith, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (1967). “Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi”

Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.

Men, Religion, Way

Mahatma Gandhi (2005). “All Men Are Brothers”, p.73, A&C Black

Religion is one tree with many branches. As branches, you may say, religions are many, but as a tree, religion is only one.

Tree, Religion, Branches

Mahatma Gandhi (1980). “All Men are Brothers: Autobiographical Reflections”, p.58, A&C Black

Where there is fear there is no religion.

Fear, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (1965). “Glorious Thoughts of Gandhi: Being a Treasury of about Ten Thousand Valuable and Inspiring Thougths of Mahatma Gandhi, Classified Under Four Hundred Subjects”

We are merely instruments of the Almighty's will and therefore ignorant of what helps us forward and what acts as an impediment. We must thus rest satisfied with the knowledge only of the means and if these are pure, we can fearlessly leave the end to take care of itself.

Mean, Ignorant, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi, Anand T. Hingorani, Ganga Anand Hingorani (1985). “The Encyclopaedia of Gandhian Thoughts”

In nature there is a fundamental unity running through all the diversity we see about us. Religions are given to mankind so as to accelerate the process of realisation of fundamental unity.

Running, Diversity, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (1965). “Glorious Thoughts of Gandhi: Being a Treasury of about Ten Thousand Valuable and Inspiring Thougths of Mahatma Gandhi, Classified Under Four Hundred Subjects”

As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.

Religious, Men, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (2005). “All Men Are Brothers”, p.72, A&C Black

If it weren't for Christians, I'd be a Christian.

Christian, Religion, Ifs

After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.

Errors, Long, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi, Homer A. Jack (2005). “The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi”, p.16, Courier Corporation

Religion is a thing to be lived. It is not merely sophistry.

Religion, Sophistry

Surendra Varmā, Mahatma Gandhi (1970). “Metaphysical Foundation of Mahatma Gandhi's Thought”

That religion and that nation will be blotted out of the face of the earth which pins its faith on injustice, untruth or violence.

Religion, Earth, Faces

Mahatma Gandhi (1962). “All Religions are True”

Religions are not for separating men from one another, they are meant to bind them.

Men, Religion, Separating

Mahatma Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi, Homer A. Jack (2005). “The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi”, p.17, Courier Corporation

Religion of our conception, thus imperfect, is always subject to a process of evolution and re-interpretation.

Religion, Evolution, Imperfect

Mahatma Gandhi (1986). “The Moral and Political Writings of Mahatma Gandhi: Civilization, Politics and Religion”, Clarendon Press

My knowledge of the letter of the Shastras is better, but of true religion they are able to give me but little.

Giving, Religion, Letters

Mahatma Gandhi (1993). “Gandhi on Nehru”

I came to the conclusion long ago . . . that all religions were true, and also that all had some error in them.

Errors, Long Ago, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (2012). “The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas”, p.184, Vintage

The need of the moment is not one religion, but mutual respect and tolerance of the devotees of the different religions.

Tolerance, Religion, Different

Mahatma Gandhi (1968). “The Message of Mahatma Gandhi”

There is no god higher than truth.

God, Truth, Religion
