The great soul, Mahatma Gandhi

The following article that you will be going through is speech that I delivered on the non-violence day and birthday of Gandhiji. Ladies and Gentlemen: I will talk bit about the great soul, Mahatma Gandhi: I shall not know anything about him, and of the arrangements of my thought that have made them possible, if I were not student who learnt world history. But I am not here to narrate life story and his work, but I am here to share my own view about the great soul Gandhiji. It is really amusing to know that all the men seek freedom, peace and happiness but only few try to get by themselves and try to give to others too. Today(2nd October,2012) is the great day not to India, nor to Bhutan but to all the nations on the earth. Today is 143rd anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth and also, it would be not wrong, to say that today is birthday of India as true independent nation. In the orchard of the Indian shrine and in the shadow of the fortress of India, I have seen the freest amongst us who wear true garment of freedom; that free amongst us is the true man of true world and only true child of the earth the great Mahatma Gandhi. The great Mahatma Gandhi was a true beauty of universe; as beauty is kind and gentle, might and dread, as beauty speaks in our spirit, so is great Mahatma Gandhi. His deeds rise with the dawn from the east and never fail to raise it again. He was the man, who trust his dream because he knew for in dream is hidden the gate to eternity. He was the man, for we can come to him with our hunger, and seek him for our peace. In his sweetness of friendship, we can laugh and sing our happiness out. We are aware that there are those who give little of the much which they have, and they give it for fame, recognition and to fulfill their hidden desire. And there are those who have little and give it all. Those are the believer in life and bounty life, and their coffer is never empty. So was the great Mahatma Gandhi, the true believer of bounty life and he was never alone. He gives with joy and receives with joy, and so was his living. The great soul, Gandhi did not believe in enemies; he worked on the principle that solutions emerged only from collaboration. Gandhi also believed in simplicity. He believed that anyone who was in public service should also lead a life of simplicity. And he believed that through his advocacy of nonviolence he would win freedom. So he said, "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." Lastly I quote; "When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it – always."
