I think Gandhi waves to people in many ways.


But anyways, I think Ghandi is connected to the better spirit of God, goodness and kindness and concepts of justice with love.

From my point of reference, I would say he is a Christian. From his point of reference, he would probably say I was part of 'some concept' from his belief system. Does that make sense? Or I would presume he would say that, he might not, but it is the concept of relativity in viewing other systems of belief from your perspective, but there also being a totality of truth that contains many things seen in many different ways.

I think we believe in many of the same things, although not exactly the same, the same concept of better ideas. And since what he showed in his teachings fit what I think a Christian is, then from my viewpoint of understanding that concept he would fit into it. (Although I do not put myself on his level of effect or even thought, if someone thinks that, I do not try to compare in that way, although if someone thinks that is what I am doing you missunderstand. Any person doing a kind thought, no matter how small, anytime in their life, in that moment would be equal to Gandhi during any of his actions of kindness. As they would be the same as anyone else in a better spirit of kindness in that moment.) It is not an elevation or a devaluation of status, but more an acknowledgment that many people all over do many things in a better spirit through their lives, and it is that spirit of doing things that has more of a determiner then what is actually done.

For those that say he was not becuase of some requierment from scripture. How would you know what is in his heart?

This is not meant to be disrespectful to his beliefs, it is meant to say that other beliefs can be seen to be part of the same spirit of better ideas that I think is taught in my belief system.
