w-5day2

Revolutions are not begun on the spur of a moment. It all begins with the perception in one of an injustice done. Mohandas Gandhi was a young advocate in South Africa and being thrown out of his carriage despite holding a legitimate rail ticket brought home to him the ugly side of colonialism. After returning to his homeland the young barrister made it his mission to orchestrate deep dissatisfaction that convulsed the masses everywhere in the subcontinent. It was a non-violent movement. In succeeding he became known as A Great Soul or Mahatma.
Power Of one is in making Oneness serve one’s purposes for the greater good. It is representation in its nature.
Tailpiece:If whole gamut of experience of our species each individual may express (evensomuch it is an instinctive act), it stands to reason that our mind also, in broader terms is representative in nature. Holding a viewpoint( ref: W3 D2) would mean each individual takes note of his or her own immediate objectives in time and place against a landscape that has certain characteristictics unique to him or her. For example Mahatma Gandhi resorting to non-violence was understandable. Being born and bred in a land that had given birth Buddhism and Jainism is it to be wondered at if Bapu had embraced Ahimsa as his weapon? It must have seemed so proper -and right too, to the masses more or less weaned on spiritual truths taught by so many savants of yore.
Vladimir I. Lenin was a child of his times and place as Gandhi was.
