One step toward World Peace

One step toward World Peace

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

(India.1869.10.2~1948.1.30)

Mahatma Gandhi is a political and spiritual leader

during India's struggle with Great Britain for home rule.

During his life time, he had great influence 

not only on his own country but also on the world,

especially for the World Peace, 

with Truth and Nonviolence.

Let me share you with his powerful sayings.

'When I despair, I remember that

all through history the way of truth and love

has always won. there have been tyrants and murderers

and for a time they seem invincible but in the end,

They always fail--think of it,always~'

'Truth alone will endure;

all the rest will be swept away before the tide

of time...What may appear as truth to one person 

will often appear as untruth to another person.

But that need not worry the seeker...

Truth and untruth often co-exist;

good and evil often are found together...

Use truth as your anvil,nonviolence as your hammer

and anything that does not stand the test

when it is brought to the anvil of truth

and hammered with nonviolence,reject it...

Truth and nonviolence demand that 

no human being may debar himself from

serving any other human being,

no matter how sinful he may be...

Truth is the first to be sought for,and

Beauty and Goodness will then be added unto you.'

'...An error does not become truth by

reason of multiplied propagation,nor does

truth become error because nobody sees it...

Truth without humility would be an arrogant

caricature...The quest of truth involves

self-suffering,sometimes even unto death.'

'In the attitude of silence the soul finds

the path in an clearer light

and what is elusive and deceptive resolves

itself into crystal clearness.

our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.'
