THE DAWNING LIGHT # 57 Tuesday March 21, 2023
Gandhi is renowned around the world as a humble man who transformed himself from a shy ordinary person into the spiritually advanced soul who absolutely dedicated himself to uplifting his countrymen through showing the way to non violent actions and lifestyle as he worked tirelessly to achieve independence for India from the British empire.
As he says, in a quote that really touches my heart: “Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”
QUOTES FROM Gandhi’s writings—
“When I despair, I remember that all through history,
the way of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time, they can seem invincible,
but in the end, they always fail.
Think of it—always!”

It comes from indomitable will.”

Then you win.”

In the degree in which he works
For the welfare of his fellow-men.”

The truth is the truth.”

What you do today.”

Can be built on violence.”

No cause for which I am prepared to kill.”

A duty as is cooperation with good.”

Of the majority has no place.”
