About This Quote

In this quote, Mahatma Gandhi said that when the conscience runs pure and strong in the heart of thinking humanity, there is not power in any fundamentalism to take hold of the human civilization and drag it back to the medieval days of barbarianism. This shows us a different way of looking at a situation. Instead of judging a person on their actions or looks, we should judge them by their inner intentions. If they have good intentions, then we should help them achieve their goals. If they have bad intentions, then we must do whatever we can to stop them from achieving those goals.
