ABSTRACT

The last chapter is essentially a summary. While Gandhi was deeply conscious of the significance of vision, his expression of mission was left to the demands of his quest for truth and the temporal transactional promptings of satyagraha. He had no enemies to decimate but lots of ideas to disseminate. For him the old folksy seer, seeing, seen sequence meant that while just like God sees everything including us mortals, we mortals too see everything including God so as to be able to revere him; only in our case, this seeing remains deemed, i.e. considered or imagined as seen.
