Letter, June 7, 193199

As at Sabarmati,
June 7, 1931

Dear friend,
I thank you for your letter. As a matter of fact I have got ample Christian Science literature with me. You will not mind my saying that somehow or other the message of Christian Science does not appeal to me. I met so many Christian scientists in South Africa. Their conversations also failed to convince me. And why do you say that the discovery that there is really no life or sensation in the body is the most important discovery of any kind that has ever been made? As a matter of fact the statement is not a complete proposition. By the body is evidently meant body without life. And surely medicine teaches us that body without life is without sensation and every Hindu child is taught that from childhood. But I must not enter into a discussion. I felt that your long letter was entitled to a reasoned reply from me.

Yours sincerely,
M. K. Gandhi
