I should probably wait till I actually finished the book to write a review. But I feel like writting now because I've got something to say now. I tentaivley picked up this book and that is how I am making my way through the pages. I've only just begun, Gandhi is about thirteen. But I find myself angry at him. I can't get through a page without watching his struggle with a thought, idea or truth. His life, from the very early stages, reveals his struggle towards ahimsa,non-violence, and brahmacharya, conduct that leads one to God. His life is lived pursuing God and he illustrates that it is the hardest way to live. I'm angry because to persue God is hard, and I haven't been doing anything hard. I'm angry because I don't feel like doing anything hard, and this will always be hard. And Im mad because to persue God changes everything else in your life. So, at page 37 I'm mad and only a little wistful.
