For Gandhi what struck him most in the Sermon on the Mount was Christ's teaching on non-retaliation or non-resistance to evil.
Of all the things Gandhi have read what remained with him forever was that Jesus came almost to give a new law - not an eye for an eye but to receive two blows when only one was given, and to go two miles when they were asked to go one. He came to see that the Sermon on the Mount was the whole of Christianity for him who wanted to live a Christian life. It is that sermon that has endeared Jesus to him.

" Jesus occupies in my heart," said Gandhi
Gandhi said that the place of one of the greatest teachers who have considerable influence on his life and said to the Hindus that their life will be incomplete unless you reverentially study the teachings of Jesus. Also to make this world the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything will be added unto them.
Gandhiji said .......“I tell you that if you will understand, appreciate, and act up to the spirit of this passage, you won't need to know what place Jesus or any other teacher occupies in your heart" For Gandhi, Jesus was the prince of Satyagrahists. Jesus’ suffering is a factor in the composition of his faith in non-violence.
Gandhi said “ He was one of the greatest teachers humanity has ever had."
