Forward

- By S.C. Jaini

The first lesson that any mother would teach to her child is to speak the truth and not to hurt other children. She does it naturally, not being aware that in the little teachings of hers, lay the greatest truths of existence. Was there anything new in what Gandhiji said? He said that truth and non violence are as old as hills and therefore he has nothing to teach. “My life is a message.” Let those who scoff at Gandhiji and his teachings send their children, where falsehood  and hatred are taught. Will they? Gandhiji simply applied the fundamental truths of life to public life and demonstrated that moral force is superior to brute force. As long, mothers of the world, teach morals to their children, through nursery rhymes and fairy tales, so long Gandhiji lives along. Politicians cannot obliterate Gandhiji and his teachings; he manifests himself in every parent who silently prays that his child should grow up into a ‘good human being’. We may deny Gandhi but not his teachings.


SO, LET US NOT BE SHY, LET US TEACH GANDHIJI IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES; YOU WILL BE ONLY REAFFIRMING YOUR FAITH IN YOUR PARENTS AND TO THEIR WISDOM FOR TEACHING VALUES TO US.
