MY EXPERIMENTS With trust. wretched words, and when at last you see through them, you will ask us to resort to Satyagraha, and so come to grief, and bring us all to grief along with you," said he with a smile. What else but grief can you hope to come to after having cast in your lot with said I.A Satyagrahi is to born to be delivered. Let the Commanding officer deceive us. Have I not told you times without number that ultimately a deceiver only himself? Sorabji gave a loud laugh. 'Well, then," said he, continue to be deceived. You will some day meet your death in Satyagraha and drag poor like me behind you. These words put me in mind of what the late Miss Emily Hobhouse wrote to me with regard to non-co-opreation: I should not be surprised if one of these days you have to go the gallows for the sake of truth. right path. gallows for the sake of truth. May God show you the right path and protect you. The talk with Sorabji took place just after the appointment of the commanding Officer . In a very few days our relations with him reached the breaking point. i had hardly regained my strength after the fourteen days fast, when I began to take part in the drill, often walking to the appointed place about two miles from home. This gave me pleurisy and laid me low. In this condition I had to go week-end camping. whilst the others stayed there, I returned home . It was here that an occasion arose for Satyagraha. The Commanding officer began to exercise his authority some what freely. He gave us clearly to understand that he was our head in all matters, military and non-military, giving us at the same time a taste of this authority. Sorabji hurried to me. He was not at all prepared to put up with this high-handedness. He said: We must have all orders through you. We are still in the training camp and all sorts of absurd orders are being issued. Invidious distinctions are made between ourselves and those youths who have between ourselves and those youths who have been appointed to instruct us. We must have it out with the Commanding Officer, otherwise we shall not be able to go on any longer. The Indian students and others who have joined our Corps are not going to absurd orders. In a cause which has been taken up for the sake of self-respect, it is th loss unthinkable to put up with loss of it.' I approached the Commanding Officer and drew his attention to the complaints approached the Commanding me to set out to the complaints I had received. He wrote asking me to set out.
