The Story of My Experiments with Truth Part 5, Chapter 2 Summary

With Gokhale in Poona

  • Our hero meets up with his mentor, Gokhale, in India.
  • He tells Gandhi that the governor wishes to meet him.
  • They meet, and Gandhi promises to see him whenever political actions are to be taken because as a Satyagrahi, Gandhi always seeks to understand the viewpoint of the opposite side.
  • Gokhale decides to fund Gandhi's ashram of the Phoenix folks.
  • It takes a weight off Mr. G's mind.
  • Then, there's some debate over whether Gandhi can join the Servants of India Society. The members don't quite get behind his spirit of compromise. But, they do like him.
  • Lastly, another party is held for Gandhi, this time arranged by Gokhale. Gandhi is a popular dude.
