"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service of others. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Strength does not come from physical capacity, It comes from an indomitable will. " - Mahatma Gandhi
Today is 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. He is not known only as an Indian leader for our freedom against Britishers, but he was more than that, which made him a world leader and philosopher for humanity and peace ☮️.
Gandhi is though of non-violence and truth. Which makes him much more relevant in today's time.
Some of the major teachings/practices which he provided to the world are following:
1. Nonviolence: By following the path of it, we prevent ourself from giving torture to others. It is much more powerfull than any other way. He used to say that my religion is based upon truth and nonviolence. Truth is my god and nonviolence is the only way to find it.
2. Satyagrah : He has given the world a precious gift to protest with nonviolence against anything we find wrong. He called this phenomenon as "Satyagrah". Satyagrah is to raise your voice for truth, for our rights with no violence at all.
3. Self control: He always believed that before preaching others for something, we should first follow it.
4. Self sustainability: He always said that in the freedom movement that, only achieving independence is not enough we have to be self-sustainable. We should not depend upon government or upon exports for our needs. That is why he make "spinning wheel" as wepon to inspire masses for being self-sustainable.
5. Cleanliness and sanitation: He always Emphasised on cleanliness and sanitation. He worked in champaran for years for sanitation. Gandhi always said that "sanitation is more important than independance".
In the human history of medieval and morden times, lot of leaders came and gone, But the Gandhi is one of the landmark across all those leaders, because before him everyone thinks that achieving independence ( or any other Goal) is important,whatever may be the means to get it.
But Gandhi followed the path where the means/way to found the independence was more important than the independence.
And the means was just "Truth" and "nonviolence".
