Gandhi accepts the fundamentality or primacy of the concept of truth over non-violence , satyagraha, God etc. in his political activism to establish justice he innovates non-violence, Satyagraha, trusteeship, the important moral ideals. Among all the moral ideals he takes truth as sovereign. He writes, ‘for me truth is the sovereign principle which includes numerous other principles. This truth is not only truthfulness in word, but truthfulness in thought also, and not only the relative truth of our conception, but the Absolute Truth, the Eternal principle, that is God.”⁷ From this it is obvious that he makes a distinction between the Absolute truth and relative truths. Anything that is objectively true or true on the basic of human experience can be taken as relative truth. What is empirically true can be considered as relative truth as different from absolute truth. Absolute truth transcends human experience. Absolute truth is the sum total of all that is there in the universe. Here Gandhi seems to attribute an ontological status to truth. He takes truth in the sense of ultimate existence or Reality or God. In metaphysics, what is called Absolute, Substance, Brahman or the principle of Being is characterized as Truth by Gandhi. What has absolute existence, as different from conditional existence, is truth. This view of truth is a metaphysical speculation. His theistic belief overshadows his rational analysis of truth.
