Who Am I?
I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

What is my Religion?
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;the philosophy is kindness.

Some quotes on religion by Mohandas Karamchand "Mahatma" Gandhi
I came to the conclusion long ago … that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them, and whilst I hold by my own, I should hold others as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we are Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu … But our innermost prayer should be a Hindu should be a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, a Christian a better Christian. (Young India: January 19, 1928)
"I am a Hindu by birth. And yet I do not know much of Hinduism, and I know less of other religions. In fact I do not know where I am, and what is and what should be my belief. I intend to make a careful study of my own religion and, as far as I can, of other religions as well."
(Autobiography)
Religions have been interwoven . One sees a special quality in every o"My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to make him a better follower of his own faith." ne of them . But no one religion is higher than another. All are complimentary to one another .Since this is my belief, the speciality of any one religion cannot run counter to another, cannot be at variance with universally accepted principles. - Harijanbandhu, March 19, 1933.
"I would far rather that Hinduism died than untouchability lived."
(When asked if he was a Hindu) Yes I am, I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew.
"My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to make him a better follower of his own faith."
"We must respect other religions, even as we respect our own. Mere tolerance thereof is not enough. "
Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.
On examination, I have found it to be the most tolerant of all religions known to me. Its freedom from dogma makes a forcible appeal to me inasmuch as it gives the votary the largest scope for self-expression
