Dear Bapu You Are Immortal
Some personages immortalize themselves with their grand deeds. Mahatma Gandhi is one of such souls. His life has been an inspiration not only for Indians, but for people from all other countries as well. He was an epitome of many virtues, self-less actions, and peace-spreading thoughts. No wonder he is called Mahatma (The Great Soul) by the entire world. People are born; people die. But some people after they are gone leave behind them a trail of light that illumines the path for the striving followers. Longfellow has praised such people in his poem, 'A Psalm of Life'. He says,
" And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;"
The above written lines aptly describe the sublimity of Mahatma Gandhi’s life. Mahatma Gandhi was a great soul whose philosophy and ideology influenced the world considerably. He practiced non-violence and tried to resist all opposition spiritually. He believed in overcoming fear, dependence on others through self-reliance and self- industry. He successfully resisted the British injustice, aggression, oppression using his non-violence and satayagreh. Ultimately he succeeded in winning Independence from the British. His philosophy and ideology were adopted by many great leaders of the world. Leo Tolstoy, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, etc, successfully adopted and practiced his teachings. The world acknowledges his contributions to mankind even in modern times.
Mahatma Gandhi's ideology is universal which is relevant for all times. People know very little about his subtly powerful and pragmatic ideology. If his ideology were not effective, the world would not have accorded him the title of Mahatma. His ideology is admired throughout the world for its universal and spiritual appeal. Its relevance in the contemporary turbulent times is more than it was in the past.
If Mahatma Gandhi's most famous ideology of non-violence is practiced by each individual, state, and country in the world; conflicts, wars, violence, etc will be wiped from the face of the earth. People will live in a securer and happier world!
Similarly, Gandhi’s ideologies on vegetarianism, truthfulness, self-government, self-reliance, observing silence, cleanliness, etc., hold solutions to almost all the problems afflicting people in the modern times. If put into practice, they have the power to enable the modern man enjoy life holistically. There is inspiration in everything he did. Thus, Bapu has become immortal with his great life.
