MAHATMA GANDHI PLAYING WITH A CHILD .
Some days back , i read a beautiful and impressive Book " MY RELIGION " by Mahatma Gandhi . I liked every line from the book . some lines that impressed me the most are hereunder for all to share and enjoy:
1 "My austerities, fasting and prayers are, i know, of no value, if i rely upon them for reforming me. But they have an inestimable value, if they represent , as i hope they do, the yearnings of a soul striving to lay his weary head in the lap of his master"
“Under the new outlook , we shall cease to think of getting what we can, but we shall decline to receive what all cannot get.”
2 “Strength does not come from physical capacity . It comes from an indomitable will. A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of History ”
3 “How beautiful it would be , if all of us , young and old , men and women , devoted ourselves wholly to truth in all that we might do in our waking hours , whether working , eating , drinking or playing till dissolution of the body makes us one with the truth? God as truth has been for me a treasure beyond price ; may he be so to every one of us ” “As soon as we lose Moral basis , we cease to be religious . There is no such thing as religion overriding Morality . Man , for instance , can not be untruthful , cruel and incontinent and claim to have god on his side . ”
4 "Love never claims , it ever gives . Love ever suffers ,never revenges itself ."
5 “My non cooperation , though it is part of my creed , is a prelude to cooperation. My non cooperation is with the methods and systems , never with men .”
AND
6 "THE HARDEST HEART AND THE GROSSEST IGNORANCE MUST DISAPPEAR BEFORE THE RISING SUN OF SUFFERING WITHOUT ANGER AND WITHOUT MALICE ."
