Question

It was the year 1919. Mahatma Gandhi's name had become well known throughout India, but not all the people had seen him in person. One day, Gandhiji was going by train to Motihari in the Champaran district of Bihar, accompanied by some other Congress leaders. He was lying at ease on a bench in a third class compartment. At a wayside station, a peasant entered Gandhiji's compartment, finding it less crowded than others. He was going to Motihari to see Gandhiji. As soon as he got in, he pushed Gandhiji's feet away, saying, 'Sir,please get up. How dare you stretch your legs on the bench when the train is so overcrowded?".Little did he realize that he was talking to the very person whose 'darshan' he wanted to have. Gandhiji sat up, and the
simple farmer sat down without knowing who the person next to him was. The train reached Motihari. A big crowd had gathered at the station to welcome Gandhiji. The peasant recognized Gandhiji and he was ashamed of his misbehavior.
