Quotes on Mahatma Gandhi
“Generations to come, it
may be, will scarce to believe that such one as this
ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth” -Albert
Einstein
Just an old man in a loin cloth in distant India, yet when
he died, humanity wept. - Louis Fischer
Impressions of Gandhi? You
might well ask for someone's impression of the Himalayas. -Bernard Shaw
“Today, when world peace
is threatened with atomic and nuclear weapons capable
of annihilating the human race, Mahatma Gandhi's teachings
of love and truth and of respect for others' rights have
become even more meaningful than at any other time.” - Haile Selassie
"If
humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He
lived, thought, and acted, inspired by the vision of
humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony.
We may ignore him at our own risk." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Not
since Buddha has India so reverenced any man. Not since
St. Francis of Assissi has any life known to history
been so marked by gentleness, disinterestedness, simplicity
of soul and forgiveness of enemies. We have the astonishing
phenomenon of a revolution led by a saint." - Will Durant
Martin
Luther King said :
I had driven to Philadelphia
one Sunday afternoon to listen to Dr. M. Johnson, the
Chairman of Howard University. He had just returned from
a visit to India and to my great delight wanted to talk
about the life and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. His
message was so profound and inspiring that I immediately
bought half a dozen books on his life and work after
the meeting. Like most others, I had heard of Gandhi
but had never studied him seriously.
As I read his books
I was fascinated by his crusades of non-violent resistance
...In his theory on love and non-violence I discovered
a method for creating social change. I became convinced
that non-violent struggle represented the only morally
and practically sound method open to oppressed people
in their struggle for freedom. While reading about Gandhi,
King began to realize what Jesus of Nazareth had meant
when he said: "Show
your enemies that you love them! Ask God to love those
who would persecute you!"
ONE
MINUTE GANDHI A DAY
One
of the greatest men born in this world is Mahatma Gandhi.
He was a leader par excellent who always taught by example.
He was able to inspire people and make them join in the
Indian freedom struggle. Gandhi’s success was mainly
due to the fact that he had total control of his mind.
He cultivated his mind and became a great source of inspiration
for several millions of people. Any one who can exercise
control over his mind will become great like Gandhi.
Here an easy technique is taught to everyone to cultivate
one’s mind. The technique is called “ONE MINUTE GANDHI”.
Words plough our mind.
Those who practice Home Exnora-Yoga particularly children
should read every say at least one quotable quote of
a great man. Quote books are sold in the shops and there
are several websites which have published the wonderful
quotes of great men, which are freely available. The
Home Yoga practitioner will every day choose one good
positive, energetic and motivating quote with a powerful
message. He has to write it on his diary for that day
and he should read it a number of times during that day
whenever he gets time. He must try to understand it fully.
One quote per day means 365 quotes per year. Imagine
what an impact that this exercise will create for the
Home Yoga Practitioner.
-
The thoughts will stick to
his conscious mind and percolate down to sub-conscious.
It will alter the mind chemistry and also the very thinking
pattern. Home Yoga Practitioner will become a broad minded
person with utmost confidence, positivism and optimism.
-
His vocabulary will improve and command over language
will increase manifold.
-
He will become a creative
right brain thinker.
-
He will become virtuous, a good
thinker, speaker and writer.
We have 1440 minutes
in a day and spending a couple of minutes in doing this
exercise of helping some one in need will develop one’s
personality.

TEN
MINUTE TERASA A DAY
"I see God in
every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I
feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful
experience?"
-Mother
Teresa
"When I see waste here, I feel angry on the
inside. I don't approve of myself getting angry. But
it's something you can't help after seeing Ethiopia." -Mother
Teresa
“Let us not be satisfied with just
giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got,
but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your
love everywhere you go”. - Mother
Teresa
“No matter who says what,
you should accept it with a smile and do your own work”. Mother Teresa
I don't claim anything of the work.
It is his work. I am like a little pencil in his hand.
That is all. He does the thinking. He does the writing.
The pencil has nothing to do with it. - Mother
Teresa
Another
word for kindness was Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa came
to India and served the poorest of the poor. She inspired
millions of people.
When she was ten years
old she went to her mother and conveyed her desire of
going to India and serving the poor. Her mother said
“you are too young to go. When you become eighteen, you
approach me. I will give my consent”. When she became
eighteen Teresa went to her mother and reminded her of
her burning desire to go to India to serve the poor.
Mother gave her nod and saw the daughter off and this
was the last time they ever met each other.
Mother Teresa
came to India and rest is history. She dedicated her
whole life and all the 24 hours in a day for serving
others and helping humanity. Nobody can surpass her.
Why not out of the 1440 minutes in a day ten minutes
one can allot to serve and become a little Mother Teresa?
The Home Yoga Practitioner particularly children should
make it their hobby and habit to do one good deed everyday,
extending at least a small help to others. It can be
to their parents, neighbours, classmates, handicapped
and poor. The children should take a vow that the day
will not be complete without their having extended help
to others spending at least ten minutes for a cause.
This help rendered should be recorded in the diary on
that particular date. This can be read after some time,
the whole collection after one year. How it would impact
is something incredible.
Imagine the out come
of these exercises. There is no need for parents to teach
morals to their children and discipline them which will
be automatic. Those who extend a small help to others
are bound to develop as great Samaritans and noble souls.
If everyone practises “ONE MINUTE GANDHI TEN MINUTE TERASA” everyday the society will also become same and there
won’t be any wrongs or misdeeds. Happiness will flourish.
Imagine the cumulative
impact of it when every one in the family become one
minute Gandhi and ten minute Teresa and periodically
exchange their learning and experience.
Children can form ‘OMG TMT Club’ in their area of residence and in
their school too and become Gandhis and Teresas. The
world is badly in need.
