"It is the duty of every cultured man or woman to read sympathetically the scriptures of the world. If we are to respect others' religions as we would have them respect our own, a friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty."
This quote clearly means that Gandhi thinks it is every persons duty to sttudy and understand other religions so that they can properly understand and respect them as they would want their religion respected.
I agree with Gandhi completely. Before we judge someone elses religion against ours, we must first understand their religion, rather than make assumptions we wouldn't want made about our religion. In addition, it makes one a well rounded, cultured person who can participate in philospohical debates with people of any faith.
