Theos-Talk Archives (December 2007 Message tt00014)

Unfortunately there was no viable continuity to Gandhi's Mission. 

> My thinking is that Ghandi was the way of the advanced soul.  His 
mission therefore served as an example of what is possible through 
non-violence.  Once Ghandi passed the violence between India and 
Pakistan continued, suggesting that those souls were not at the 
level required to reach a compassionate understanding for each other.
