Read the following passage carefully and answer the question:
My uniform experience has convinced me that there is no other God than Truth… That is why my devotion to Truth has drawn me into the field of politics; and I can say without the slightest hesitation, yet in all humility, that those who say that religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion means. Identification with everything that lives is impossible without self-purification; without self-purification the observance of the law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream; God can never be realized by one who is not pure of heart.
--- M. K. Gandhi, An Autobiography or the Story of my Experiments with Truth, p. 615
Which among the following are NOT in conformity with the above passage?
