Mahatma Gandhi

He is my role model His life, an inspiration to me Did some research on him Since then am in awe of him Empath at heart, he dedicated his life in selfless service Saw teeming millions without dress Wore a simple dothi like them Wherever he found people suffering Took up their cause, fought for justice Knew scriptures well, was therefore always good in words, deeds and action Was aware we are accounted for our karmas Would not sin whatever may happen Britishers beat him, jailed him He never did tit for tat Was against partition, knew its effects Advised others to reject it Power hungry politicians did not hear Its consequences stand before us When India gained independence Nehru invited him to attend the ceremony He refused saying how can I celebrate When my brother's and sisters are suffering During post partition communal riots He walked bare foot all over country, helping all, rquesting them to maintain peace and communal harmony He was firm in his beliefs Practicing what he preached All his movements like swadeshi, abolition of untouchability, salt satyagraha were for masses If all became like him, nonviolent, selfless, and worked for the betterment of everyone around world would become a better place to live 02.10.2021 Note: 2nd October is the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi.
