"I do dimly perceive that while everything around me is 
ever-changing, ever-dying there is, underlying all that 
change, a living power that is changeless, that holds all 
together, that creates, dissolves, and recreates. That 
informing power or spirit is God, and since nothing else 
that I see merely through the senses can or will persist, 
He alone is. And is this power benevolent or malevolent? 
I see it as purely benevolent. For I can see, that in the 
midst of death, Life persists, in the midst of untruth, 
Truth persists, in the midst of darkness, Light persists. 
Hence I gather, that God is Life, Truth, Light, He is 
Love. He is the supreme good. But He is no god who merely 
satisfies the intellect, if He ever does. God to be God 
must rule the heart and transform it. He must express 
Himself in every smallest act of His votary. It is proved 
not by extraneous evidence, but in the transformed 
conduct and character of those who have felt the real 
presence of God within. To reject this evidence is to 
deny oneself. This realization is preceded by an 
immovable faith. He who would, in his own person, test 
the fact of God’s presence can do so by a living faith, 
and since faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous 
evidence, the safest course is to believe in… the law of 
Truth and Love. Exercise of faith will be the safest 
where there is a clear determination summarily to reject 
all that is contrary to Truth and Love. I confess that I 
have no argument to convince through reason, faith 
transcends reason. All that I can advise is not to 
attempt the impossible." –Mahatma Gandhi
