Mahatma Gandhi

Millions of people today continue to be inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's teachings because he was a genuine man of God.

[Pg 19] We abhor the idea of our cleaning the latrines ourselves, but what we should really abhor is the idea of making use of dirty latrines. What is the harm in ourselves removing the filth which has been expelled from inside our own body, and which we are not ashamed to have removed by others?

No more uninformed than the rest of society at the time, and perhaps no more uninformed than today's society, there did exist a few nuggets of common sense. By the time I hit chapter two I decided to read it as an historical comedy, which lightened my mood. I have great respect for Gandhi's regard f

При чтении было абсолютно сюрреалистическое ощущение. Ганди, все-таки, как ни крути, вождь. Не может он рассказывать о своих вкусах и предпочтениях без поучения всей индийской нации.
С абсолютной непоколебимостью он отвергает врачей, но дает советы как лечить простуду и бубонную чуму. Он настаивает,
