Quote #1
But [my experiments] are spiritual, or rather moral; for the essence of religion is morality. (Introduction.4)
God is truth, and religion is morality. Okay. We think we understand.
Quote #2
Mr. Giles, the Educational Inspector, had come on a visit of inspection. He had set us five words to write as a spelling exercise. One of the words was "kettle." I had mis-spelt it. The teacher tried to prompt me with the point of his boot, but I would not be prompted. It was beyond me to see that he wanted me to copy the spelling from my neighbour's slate, for I had thought that the teacher was there to supervise us against copying. The result was that all the boys, except myself, were found to have spelt every word correctly. Only I had been stupid. The teacher tried later to bring this stupidity home to me, but without effect. I never could learn the art of "copying." (1.2.2)
It's beyond Gandhi to recognize that his teacher wants him to cheat at spelling to please the official.
Quote #3
I knew I was lying, and lying to my mother. I also knew that, if my mother and father came to know of my having become a meat-eater, they would be deeply shocked. This knowledge was gnawing at my heart. (1.7.5)
Gandhi first gives up meat eating because he doesn't like lying, not out of compassion for animals. Pretty fitting for a guy who later perceives God to be truth.
