The Mahatma

Here’s a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi by Eswar, on his 148th birth anniversary, in Different Truths.

Non-violence his language

Truth his identity

Experimentation his life

His life his teachings

 

A weapon none used

Sharper than the sharpest

A body so frail

Stronger than the strongest

 

Leading by example

Practising before he preached

An inspiration to a nation

A Mahatma to the world.
