It is to him at the best that people comes running, kneels down and asks...
"Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
And Jesus said unto him........,
"One thing thou laciest. Go thy way, sell what thou hast and give it to the poor, and thou shall have treasure in heaven - come, take up the cross and follow me. Here you have an eternal rule of life stated in the noblest words the English language is capable of producing."
Gandhi went on to say that he could quote even stronger passages from the Hindu scriptures and the lesson he wanted to draw was that if we could clean our houses, palaces and temples of the attributes of wealth and show in them the attributes of morality we could fight all hostile forces without military strength. "Let us seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness," as Jesus said, "and the irrevocable promise is that everything will be added upon us".
