Selection from “Pathway to God” by Mahatma Gandhi, Part 1 of 2

There is an indefinable Mysterious Power that pervades everything. It transcends the senses. The truth is that God is the Force. He is the essence of life. He is pure, undefiled consciousness. He is eternal. There are many powers lying hidden within us and we discover them by constant struggle. My God does not reside above. He has to be realized on earth. He is omnipotent and omnipresent. You need not think of the world beyond. If we can do our duty here, the beyond will take care of itself.
