A Great Soul

Most of us are familiar with Gandhi but for those who are not or those of us who may have forgotten, here are some facts about him and some of his thoughts. Gandhi is often called Mahatma -- the Hindu term for "great soul". Gandhi is revered in India as "the father of the nation". Since his death he has become the source of inspiration for non-violent political movements such as the civil rights movement in the USA and Northern Ireland. Gandhi's insistence that means were more important than the ends distinguished him from other great political leaders of the twentieth century. Gandhi impresses upon us, once again, along with numerous other writings and thoughts on our website that we become our thoughts. That concept is key to the universal understanding of living life in peace and harmony to the benefit of all. We are all blessed to have the privilege of exposure to the essence of his Spirit and thoughts.

Works By Mahatma Gandhi

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.
If I keep on saying to myself
that I cannot do a certain thing,
it is possible that I may end
by really becoming incapable of doing it.
On the contrary,
if I have the belief that I can do it,
I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it,
even if I may not have it at the beginning.

Keep your thoughts positive,
because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive,
because your words become your behaviors.
Keep your behaviors positive,
because your behaviors become your habits.
Keep your habits positive,
because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive,
because your values become your destiny.

For me, the different religions are
beautiful flowers from the same garden,
or they are branches of the same majestic tree.
Therefore, they are equally true,
though being received and interpreted
through human instruments equally imperfect

To me, God is Truth and Love;
God is ethics and morality:

God is fearlessness.
God is the source of Light and Life
and yet He is above and beyond all these.
God is conscience...

He is a personal God to those who need His personal presence.
He is embodied to those who need His touch.
He is the purest essence.
He simply is to those who have faith.
He is all things to all men.
There is no god higher than Truth.
