- On your mark…get set…Gandhi.
- In this intro, he tells us why he's writing his autobiography. It's less like an autobiography and more the story of his experiments with truth, as he calls them.
- His life is based on the goal of self-realization, seeing God face to face, in order to reach Moksha, or freedom from birth and death (kind of like an equivalent to salvation).
- His experiments are geared toward that goal. He admits the conclusions drawn from his experiments might not be infallible, but they work for him.
- Gandhi defines God as Truth with a capital T. His path is to seek after it, and he hopes readers will learn from his humble journey.
- He also confesses that he feels unbroken torture in being unable to reach God. Poor guy.
