Rage

[Mohandas Gandhi's address at Kingsley Hall
Delivered 17 October 1931, in London, England]

[Audio played over somber and foreboding instrumental and static]

I do dimly perceive that whilst 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 of spirit is God
And since nothing else that I see
Merely through the senses, can or will persist
He alone is

And if this power is 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 [?]
This can only be done through a definite realization
More real than the fives senses can ever prove use

Sense perceptions can be, and often are, false and deceptive
However real they may appear to us
Where there is realization outside the sense, it is [?]
It is proved not by extreme extraneous evidence
But in the transformed conduct and character
Of those who have felt the real presence of God within

[Fades into static, unintelligible]
