The larger part of
my life has been more influenced by
physicist , bollywood stars , cricket stars . Post then has been more about the
domination of inspiration over influence. After the suggestion from by closest friend
I started going through "My experiment with truth" in my second year
of graduation. For the first few month I
managed to complete just 60 pages of ebook.
But the honesty so plainly expressed
had already struck the first
cord. Then a little bit of google about Gandhi , his famous and unfamous
writings were absorbing me almost homogenously . But lately I found many were
not of the same view as of mine , so I left discussing about him. I thought may
be I don’t know the history much so better is to be quiet .
Then after a break
of a year , finally got the hard copy
of "My experiment with truth".
Since then I have been stormed by numerous radical transformation in my thoughts
.Whether its my growing ability to restrain myself from nonsense criticizing of
others , ability to accept the mistakes , ability to take the pride with
humility in noble deeds , ability to introspect, strong believer of piece and
above all ability to give. And few pending things which I might take a little
longer is to love selflessly , sacrifice for the cause ,truth and humanity are
all dedicated to Mahatma . With his plethora of inspirational quotes ,he keeps inspiring me thousand times .
Whether his sacrificing nature or ability to
accept his greatest or guilt shame or practicing his verse with such
consistency or the concept of non-violence , satyagrah , non-cooperation
movement or his principles of
swaraj . He has been like a
trendsetter of peace and humanity.
A thin common man always motivating with his
relentless long walks , stick and a gita in his hands and a always glued smile
, experimenting world's most uncommon noble deeds. When world was busy making
atomic bombs , he kept teaching thousands of his countrymen about non-violence
,, he taught us to discard english clothes , he made us to make salt for our
own , he fought for thousands in foreign land of south africa and
yet our generation keep
criticizing him for INDIA-PAKISTAN many
more which I don’t even know.But for me
and many others he kept inspiring us .
I feel saddened to
see today people especially Indians criticize
Gandhi but praise Martin luther King who himself was ardent Gandhi follower. We keep comparing
between bhagat singh and gandhi , patel
and gandhi etc. We are dividing our own country , we are cutting our own souls.
Instead of uniting two good souls we continuously try to prove superiority of
one over others. Being from educated class of India our thoughts should not be
drifted along with the wind rather lets have our own unbiased ,researched
notions atleast for these great people.
On his 144th birth
anniversary I dedicate this to Mahatma Gandhi , hopefully someday some of us
learn from some of his reminiscences and
above all take pride in saying yes Gandhi is the father of nation. Because if we
know him , if we study him not through the spectacles of others , we will know
that Gandhi was a magnificent phenomena , who processed every second , who
transformed every minute for the better. A few shortcoming everyone has and he
also had but he himself said "
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to
make mistakes.".Lets remember the
mahatma on his "birth anniversary and world non-violence day" for the
truth he stood for , for sacrifice he made , for the pains he underwent for his
countrymen .
What inspired me about Gandhi is that even after reading "May it Please Your Honour " , my respect for Gandhi didn't diminished a bit, instead I praised him to higher Hilt.
