Abstract

The concept of truth is the central aspect of religion. What is truth? How is it attained? These questions have been the focal points of theological discussion throughout history. gandhi suggested that truth can be found in his concepts of Satyagraha, or total self-renunciation, and Ahimsa (non-violence). He believed that truth can only be found by living frugally and without attachment to worldly desires. gandhi was a pluralist who held the belief that all religions are paths to salvation and that truth lies within each individual's willingness to sacrifice worldly goods and live a life of spirituality.
