Answer:
Here is what I Know
Explanation:
Mahatma Gandhi said, cleanliness is most important for physical well-being and a healthy environment. He said, it is essential for everyone to learn about cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and the various diseases that are caused due to poor hygienic conditions.
Answer:
One day, Gandhi found out that the latrines were not cleaned and his wife was supposed to clean them that day. He asked his wife why had she not cleaned the toilets.
“I don’t want to clean the latrines, it’s the work of the ‘Untouchables’,” she retorted.
“All work in this community is sacred, and none is more sacred than to devote ourselves to make the ashram pure by cleaning the latrines. It is an act of worship,” Gandhi said.
Seeing his wife’s reluctance, Gandhi said he would clean the latrines. His wife, realising her folly, promised she would clean the latrines that day.
This episode is forever etched in my mind.
There is also this group of Japanese volunteers comprising both young and old people who go around Asian countries cleaning toilets.
They were featured in one television programme where they went to a school in Taiwan to clean the school’s toilets.
The television crew asked one old Japanese lady why they did it. The lady replied that she does so out of elevating her spiritual awareness.
