Training of the Spirit
- Think Gandhi wouldn't be a disciplinarian? You'd be wrong.
- In this chapter, he talks about both the spiritual training of the boys and their discipline.
- As for spiritual training, he teaches the kids through example.
- His self-restraint demonstrates to them the value of self-restraint; his truthfulness teaches them the value of truth. And so on.
- As for discipline, he once smacks a misbehaving boy with a ruler.
- He later doubts if this was necessary.
- He suggests better spiritual training might prevent the need for corporal punishment.
