Description

My god, is the work of Mahatma Gandhi
Says Mahatma Gandhi, the great leader of India’s independence movement: “All my efforts are to meet God by serving man, because I know that God is neither in heaven nor on earth; “God has Mava inside every human being.”

This great figure devoted his whole life to justice, independence and self-improvement, and collected his spiritual thoughts and ideas in the book “God as I Understand”. This book is a complete and comprehensive source to get acquainted with the thought line of this great personality.

About the Book of God as I Understand
Mahatma Gandhi’s book “God as I Understand” was published in 1962 under the original title MY GOD. This work is a collection of words and writings of this justice seeker who explains the meaning of God. Most people know Mahatma Gandhi for his political and social activities and call him a man of Indian politics, while in this work he appears as a spiritual leader. In this work, he has collected his thoughts, teachings and thoughts about the existence and rank of God.

In this book, he introduces God as the indefinable and mysterious force of the universe and expresses his other aspects and position. In a part of this book, Mahatma Gandhi explains the word satya meaning existence and says satya or truth is the most important name of God.

He also introduces God as the ruler of the rulers and the omnipotent, and considers science to be reminiscent of God. He believes that wherever there is true knowledge, there is salvation.

The book “God as I Understand” consists of eighteen chapters which are “The Meaning of God”, “The Truth of God”, “What is God”, “The Truth is God”, “Ahimsa – the Invisible Power of God”, “Faith and Proof”, ” “Perception of God”, “Prayer to God”, “Voice of God”, “Laws of God”, “God and Satan”, “Sufferings that God sends down”, “Ways to God”, “Serving God”, “True Believer” “House of God”, “Incarnation of God”, “God, as I understand it”.

In a part of God’s book we read as I understand it

In my view, God is truth and love; God is morality and honesty; God is courage and recklessness. God is the source of light and life, and yet He is above all. God is conscience. He is even a disbeliever and an atheist of infidels and atheists; Because with His infinite love, He gives the unbelievers a chance to live. He is the seeker and digger of hearts.

It crosses the boundaries of language and logic and goes beyond. He knows us better than we know ourselves and is more aware of what is going on in our hearts. The Word forgives us and does not take us away because He knows what is wrong with our tongues – whether we know it or not – is not in our hearts. For those who need his incarnate presence, there is an incarnate god. For those who want its tangible existence, it appears in the form of a body.

It is the purest essence of the universe. It is the believers who feel its existence. He is everything to all human beings. Within us and at the same time, beyond and superior to us. God’s name can be removed from Congress, but we can never remove God’s power. Is not the firm conviction we are talking about what is hidden in the name of God?
Undoubtedly, conscience is nothing but a flawed and artificial interpretation of the impure combination of the three letters that make up the word of God. Committing filthy and hateful ugliness or vile and inhuman predators under his name is not a reason to deny his existence. He endures the hardships of suffering. God is patient and, at the same time, mighty and powerful.

It is the strictest being in this world and that world. It does to us what we have done to our neighbors – humans and animals. There is no excuse for ignorance and negligence in front of him.

And yet, His forgiveness is infinite, for He always opens the doors of repentance to His servants. God is the greatest democrat the world has ever seen, because it leaves us “unchained” to choose between good and evil, of our own free will. He is the greatest tyrant that man has ever known, because he often removes the cup from our lips and gives us a small and narrow range to move in the name of authority, and thus makes us a tool for his entertainment and server.

Excerpts from the Book of My god

Biography of Mahatma Gandhi Author of My god

Mahatma Gandhi was a prominent political leader in India who fought for Indian independence. He used nonviolent principles and peaceful disobedience. He was killed in 1948 by a fanatic. In India, he has been dubbed the “Father of the Nation”.

When I’m disappointed, I remember that throughout history, the methods of truth and love have prevailed. People have been powerful and murderous, and they may have seemed invincible for a while, but in the end they have always been defeated. Always think about this.

Births and early years

Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869 in Purbander, India. Mahatma was part of the professional community. His mother was an illiterate woman, but her sincerity and pure beliefs had a strong effect on Mahatma. He was a good student in his youth, but this shy young man showed no sign of leadership. With the death of his father, Mahatma traveled to England to study law. He became acquainted with the vegetarian community and was asked to translate the Hindu Bhagavad Gita for them. This book of epic literature created in Gandhi a sense of pride in the Indian writing of which the Gita was like a pearl.

Around this time, he also studied the Bible, and the teachings of Jesus Christ had a profound effect on him, especially the emphasis on humility and forgiveness. Throughout his life he was a proponent of the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, although he was critical of aspects of both religions.

Gandhi in South Africa

Gandhi returned to India after completing his law studies and was soon sent to South Africa to practice law. In Africa he was saddened by the racial discrimination and injustices often experienced by Indians. South Africa was Gandhi’s first experience of strikes and civil unrest. He called this non-violent uprising Satyagraha. Despite being imprisoned for a short time, he continued to support the British under certain conditions. The British gave him a badge of honor for his efforts during the Boer War and the Zulu Uprising.

Gandhi and the beginning of the struggle

After 21 years in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India in 1915. He became the leader of the Indian National Movement’s struggle for internal government or Swaraj.

Gandhi successfully incited several nonviolent uprisings. This included one- or two-day national strikes. The British tried to suppress the protests, but the non-violent nature of the uprisings and strikes made it difficult to oppose them.

Gandhi’s protest method

Gandhi also encouraged his followers to practice internal discipline in preparation for independence. Gandhi said Indians must prove that they deserve independence. This view was at odds with that of leaders such as Aberbindo, who argued that India’s independence was not about having a better or worse government, but about India’s right to an independent government.

During India’s independence movement, Gandhi also clashed with others such as Subhas Chandra, a proponent of direct struggle to overthrow the British.

Gandhi would have called off the strike immediately if he noticed any violence or riots during the protests.

Biography of Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi and the Salt Demonstrations

In 1930, Gandhi led a famous march to the sea to oppose salt laws. They made their own salt at sea, in violation of British law. Hundreds were arrested and Indian prisons were full of people who supported Indian independence.

Cancel strikes

When the protests peaked, Indian demonstrators killed some British citizens, prompting Gandhi to cancel the independence movement, saying India was not ready. This broke the hearts of many supporters of these movements in India. This led to extremists such as the Bagat Sink, who were very strong in Bengal, taking the lead in the struggle.

Gandhi and the disintegration of India

Biography of Mahatma Gandhi

After the war, Britain agreed to give India independence. However, with the support of the Muslims led by Jinah, Britain decided to divide India into two parts – India and Pakistan. Gandhi opposed this division. He worked hard to show that Muslims and Indians can live together in peace. During the prayers, Muslim worshipers stood alongside Indians and Christians. However, Gandhi agreed to these divisions and worshiped Independence Day in mourning for these divisions. However, Gandhi’s efforts and fasts were futile to stem the tide of sectarian violence and post-partition killings.

Gandhi and the class system

Apart from India’s policies of independence, Gandhi was strongly critical of India’s separate class system. In particular, he spoke in his speeches in support of the “impure” class, which was considered very low by society. He did a lot of work to get rid of this “impure” title. Although these efforts met with great resistance, they did much to change the old prejudices.

The assassination of Gandhi, the author of the book of God as I understand it

At the age of 78, Gandhi began another fast to prevent tribal killings. Five days later, the leaders agreed to end the killings, but ten days later Gandhi was shot dead by an Indian Brahmin who opposed Gandhi’s support for Muslims and the impure class.

Biography of Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi and religion

Gandhi was always seeking the truth.

In the tendency to calm, the soul finds its way in a brighter light, and what is elusive and deceptive manifests itself quite clearly. Our lives are a long and difficult search for the truth.

Gandhi has said that his main goal in life is to have divine insight. He sought the worship of God and the promotion of his religious understanding. He was inspired by different religions – Brahmins, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and all of them in his philosophy.

Gandhi and Imam Hussein

The character of Imam Hussein (AS) and the type of his uprising in Karbala has always been admired by Gandhi, and he has given speeches on this subject, some of which are as follows:

“I did not bring anything new to the people of India, only the result of my studies and research on the life history of the heroes of Karbala, I brought to the people of India. If we want to save India, we must all follow the path of Hussein bin “Ali (AS) walked.”

“I have read the life of Imam Hussein, that great martyr of Islam, carefully and I have paid enough attention to the pages of Karbala, and it has become clear to me that if India wants a country to win, it must follow the example of Imam Hussein (AS).”

“The progress of Islam has not been based on the sword, but has been achieved with the great sacrifice of Hussein (AS). “I learned from him how to win while I am oppressed and oppressed.”
