Nirbal ke bala Rama

  • On a trip, Gandhi and a friend stay in a house with women whom he says are not very scrupulous about their morals.
  • The friend begins to flirt with one woman who is hosting them. Gandhi flees to his bedroom, feeling pressured by lust but remembering his vow to his mother.
  • Gandhi says the phrase "God saved me" has deep meaning and that worship and prayer are real and everything else is unreal. He says prayer cleanses a person of passions.
