Character like Gandhi is easy to speak but difficult to live. He was a person who thought, acted and lived for the betterment of other people in fact he considered his life to be the part of others and acted accordingly. This feeling was not developed in a single day . He too was a normal individual with the thinking like others to be selfish and live and serve only himself. But certain incidents transformed his thinking and the motive of his life. He started finding reasons for apathy of common man and self assigned the task to serve and bring changes in their lives. The mammoth task was to get the freedom so that our own system could be made and good governance should be ensured for the Indians. His reason for success was very evident that he believed in doing what he said. He advocated non-violence constructive protest and truth in his real life. Although he lead a very simple life but his works and words had such a huge impact on the masses that gave him the title of Mahatma. Even though he never wanted his appraisal and he didn’t had any hidden ambition or personal lust. People loose importance when they just think and act for themselves. Although we all have some personal desire and ambition but it must be directed in the larger interest. This larger interest cannot be developed if we have selfish attitude. We have seen numerous leaders who got the inspiration from Gandhi but they could not got the same kind of affection because somewhere they had there hidden personal goal and they were not fully devoted towards the society.The famous bhajan and the personal favorite of Bapu’Vaishnav jan ko teni kahiye re jo pir parayi jane re’ summarizes our motives, work and way of life which is selfless service of the humanity. It has to be full of self respect for the others and serving them without lust, greed or hidden desire. If we follow a simple lifestyle which incorporates honesty and welfare this is the only path which can take you to the God and give you peace and satisfaction. The things have changed a lot since has assassination. Many people also criticize his doctrine but the truth will remain unaltered irrespective of time. We can like, criticize Gandhi but we cannot ignore this huge personality. We pay our homage and sincere tribute to this superb soul.
