What should we learn from the life of Mahatma Gandhi, to shape the future of ourselves and our countrymen?
When the reservoir is full, the water taps will flow; when the heart is the reservoir of love, sympathy and faith, acts, words and thoughts will help peace and joy.
Politicians however do not recognise these needs; they fill the young hearts with hate, envy and greed, and spur them on to violence and vituperation.
They draw them away from the classroom, the library and the laboratory and make them tramp the streets. They prod them to injure innocents, damage property and behave wildly, with fury.
Indian Culture never encourages the use of force for effecting changes in law or social conditions or people's attitudes.
Gandhi directed the movement for Indian Independence along spiritual lines which drew courage and confidence, and communicated to people both recitation and reflection on the Names of The Divine.
He cleansed the heart of the nation, of hatred and envy, of fear and doubt. He stuck to the ideal and the path; you too should do the same.
- Divine Discourse, May 31, 1972.
Greater than all other forms of worship is service to one’s fellowmen done in an unselfish and dedicated spirit.
