For Gandhi, God is beyond reasoning and since reasoning is an individual affair there will be several reasons and un-reasons for the existence and otherwise of God. God is a matter of faith and not reason and without faith one may not understand the idea of God. (Young India, 21-01-21, p.80 & TEH, p.60). Gandhi becomes fatalistic in the matter of God and understanding the idea of God. However, Gandhi is successful in making God a functional idea by saying God is Truth and Truth is God. A seeker of truth is therefore a believer in God. He is also quick to say that all believers are not Godly and that all atheists are not ungodly. God cannot be understood by arguments and reasoning but by following a Godly path. One who follows a Godly path has the power to convert an atheist into a theist. Atheists cannot be converted to theists merely by arguments but by leading a Godly life than merely having a belief in God. (Harijan, 1-9-40, p.268/269 & TEH, p.62).
