Mahatma Gandhi – Poverty and Simplicity

There is a proverb in India that reads “Even at times of poverty, one shall not lose integrity and honesty”. The life of Mahatma Gandhi depicted the true spirit of this saying and stands as a strong exemplar for the poorest of the poor to lead a modest life. Even in the days of oppression and subjugation, he voluntarily led a simple life and preached the millions of people of India to maintain their integrity by means of adopting nonviolent methods, truthfulness and direct, honest submission of soul in front of the offending evil that was pilfering the rights and ethical living.

His doctrine of Aparigraha (Non-possession or Non-attachment) is one of the greatest ways for one to work for a common cause that keeps one away from all miseries. It also keeps the mind, body and soul in a purified and sanctified state which ultimately bring out the fruits of the Karma without need for violent, greedy means. His choice of shedding the lavish attire became the aesthetic symbol for himself in the later days of his life.

Explanation:

He upheld the need for resolving India's poor economic condition than the pursuit for freedom and many of his schemes and plans embodied that purpose. ... His efforts for the cause of the Harijans (untouchables, caste people belonging to lower class) had a greater influence in the process of India's independence.
