Gandhi's 'Note to the Reader'

From "Fasting in Satyagraha"  *

I would like to say to the diligent reader of my writings and to others who are interested

in them that I am not at all interested in appearing to be consistent.  In my search after

Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new things.  Old as I am in age I

have no feeling that I have ceased to grow inwardly or that my growth will stop at the dissolution of the flesh.  What I am concerned with is my readiness to obey the call of Truth, my God, from moment to moment, and, therefore, when anybody finds any inconsistency between any two writings of mine, if he has still any faith in my sanity, he would do well to choose the latter of the two on the same subject.

* a name Gandhi invented meaning 'adherence to truth'
