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> <P> Gandhi writes in his "Farewell" to the readers, a suitable conclusion for an autobiography that he never intended to be an autobiography, but a tale of experiments with life, and with truth . </P> <P> After its initiation, The Story of My Experiments with Truth remained in the making for 4--5 years (including the time while Gandhi was imprisoned at Yerwada Central Jail near Pune, Maharashtra), and then it first appeared as a series in the weekly Gujarati magazine Navjivan during 1925--28, which was published from Ahmedabad, India . </P>
