Quotes about The gandhi reader

…the Sermon on the Mount…went straight to my heart. I compared it
with the Gita. The verses, `But I say unto you, that ye resist not
evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him
the other also. And if any man take away thy coat let him have thy
cloke too," delighted me beyond measure and put me in mind of Shamal
Bhatt's `For a bowl of water, give a goodly meal'…My young mind tried
to unify the teaching of the Gita, the `Light of Asia' and the Sermon
on the Mount. That renunciation was the highest form of religion
appealed to me greatly.
