Letter, May 12, 1926 ⁸⁰

[Mr. James sent Gandhiji a book he had helped to write and asked Gandhiji, in a letter of March 1, 1926, to explain the difference between "Advaitism" and "Dwaitism" to which reference had been made in Young India.⁸¹]

Dear friend,
I have your letter. It is difficult for me at the present moment to find time to read literature with which friends overwhelm me. You ask me to differentiate between Advaitism and Dwaitism. The former derived evidence from God who alone exists and therefore, contemplates identity between God and His creation. The latter attempts to show that the two can be never one.

Yours sincerely,

E.H. James, Esq.
