The Nation celebrating the Birthday of its Father ...
The time again , the nation wakes up to ...
the Newspaper ,Television, Radios and other media relaying
Gandhi's life history , his words of wisdom , his Satyagraha Principle etc
His unique appearance with the spectacles and a walking stick , even a small kid of the present age can identify easily.
So, Generations after generations , he is remembered with much awe and reverence and will continue to stay in the hearts of men for ages and ages !!
Oh ! What a Blessing -
To stay in this world , immortal !!
What an Impact
has He made on this world !!
Simply proved that
the Great Spiritual Values -
Non Violence , Truth , Determination, Perseverance, sacrifice
are all immortal !!
Making an ordinary spirit rise to the level of
Super-Spirit or Great Soul -
The MahaAtma !!
I remember my school days , where we were given a small diary sort of book called as "Sathya Sothanai " , ( In English , Test for Truth ) year after year .
The book consists of a page meant for each day- .
At the end of the day, the page needs to be filled as a part of the homework. The page has a selected list of a Test points amounting to a number of about 15 , such as ,
- Did you behave well today without hurting others ?
- Did you speak any lies today ?
- Did you steal today ?
- Did you fight with anyone today ?
- Did you help anyone today ?
- Did you do the prayer today ?
Sometimes , we forget to fill it up , resulting in the punishment . Hence to avoid that , sometimes, we take up the page and start ticking the columns for the whole week at one shot.
And I used to take due care that atleast one or two negative markings are there in a day . Because , I had a feeling that it's impossible for anyone to be 100 % perfect , but later on realised , it can strived to achieve !!
Somehow , this "Test for Truth " book has been the first step for me to enter into the path of Truth !!
The Beautiful Pathway !! |
Jai Mahatma !!
Love & smiles....
