These will of course include experiments with non-violence, celibacy and other principles of conduct believed to be distinct from truth. But my purpose being to give an account of various practical applications of these principles, I have given the chapters I propose to write the title of The Story of My Experiments with Truth. This unusual autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth, is a window to the workings of Mahatma Gandhis mind- a window to the emotions of his. I should clearly not attempt an autobiography. If I had only to discuss academic principles. I should certainly like to narrate my experiments in the spiritual field which are known only to myself, and from which I have derived such power as I possess for working in the political field. But I shall not mind, if every page of it speaks only of my experiments. In Gandhi's own words: "I simply want to tell the story of my numerous experiments with truth, and as my life consists of nothing but those experiments, it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography. Summary: This is Gandhi's autobiography covering his life from early childhood to approximately 1921.
