The Great Soul

 

Maahatm Gandhi has been considered as the "father of the nation". In my opinion he could be considered as "a role model" for the entire universe, as he is the one who had openly declared that his life itself was his message.

To begin with, normally people of great repute tend to preach a lot but when it comes to practice they fail. Bapuji in his life time never tried to isolate him self from the common man with the feeling that he was above them. He considered himself as any other common man and tried to spread the message initially by practicing it by self. Despite all the virtues he had, he an ordinary life adhering to the noble concepts of "Satya, Dharma and Ahimsa".

Though he was prompted by his colleagues to resort to violence, he never sulked from his path of righteousness. Gandhiji tried to inspire the people but never tried to impose his thoughts on them. Even when great leaders like Netaji differed in their philosophy, Bapuji tried to elaborate the practicability of "Ahimsa" that non violence was the only scope to win over the British.

Despite all the attempts by the British to lure him by offering power, riches and other things he never deviated from the path of righteousness. Even though there were he never looked for his own safety and security. Even the moment when he was brutally attacked by Nathuram Vinayak Godse, he asked his followers to forgive Nathuram such is the greatness of "The great soul”.

Jai Hind!
