17. Young India, 12 november 1925. Gandhi verklaarde over dit voorval: ‘Mijn contact met twee Engelse vrienden dwong me de Gita te lezen, ik zei ‘dwong me te lezen’, omdat het niet mijn eigen wens was het boek te lezen . . . Ik schaamde me over mijn onwetendheid. Het deed pijn me te realiseren dat ik totaal niets wist over mijn heilige boeken. Trots lag, denk ik, aan mijn gevoel ten grondslag.’ De Gita werd het belangrijkste boek in zijn leven.
