Mahatma Gandhi
Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
– I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
– I shall fear only God.
– I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
– I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
– I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.
– Mahatma Gandhi
Life need not be complicated. Mahatma Gandhi’s life shows us how powerful it can be when we put simple ideas as outlined above into practice. By following these simple truths, Gandhi was able to defeat the mighty British empire without any need for violence and gain freedom for his country. He also fought with his own countrymen to empower the poor and lower castes and he fought for women’s rights. His actions have helped transform an entire subcontinent and also inspired non-violent struggles all over the world.
