<P> However, in Gandhi's absence, Indians returned to their British jobs and their every day routines . Even worse, the unity between Muslims and Hindu, which Gandhi advocated so passionately, had already begun to fall apart to the point where the threat of violence loomed large over many communities with mixed population . The fight for Indian independence could not continue while Indians themselves suffered disunity and conflict, all the more difficult to overcome in a huge country like India, which had always suffered religious divisions, as well as divisions by language, and even caste . </P> <P> Gandhi realized that Independence and that the British had lost the will and power to sustain their empire, but he always acknowledged that Indians could not rely simply on the weakening of Britain in order to achieve independence . He believed that Indians had to become morally ready for Independence . He planned to contribute to such readiness through his speeches and writing, advocating humility, restraint, good sanitation, as well as an end to child marriages . He acknowledged that he had changed his position on many issues, like child marriages, and that he had not always managed to discern the most moral course of action in his life . </P> <P> After his imprisonment ended, he resumed his personal quest for purification and truth . He ends his autobiography by admitting that he continues to experience and fight with "the dormant passion" that lie within his own soul . He felt ready to continue the long and difficult path of taming those passions and putting himself last among his fellow human beings, the only way to achieve salvation, according to him . </P> <P> "That is why the worlds' praise fails to move me; indeed it very often stings me . To conquer the subtle passions is far harder than the physical conquest of the world by the force of arms," </P>
