The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas by Mahatma Gandhi

5.0

Gandhiji was a saint of modern times and reading this book made me realize not just how simple and effective his approach is. he valued life in all its form. He also said if the choice was only between cowardice and violence he would always prefer violence - This thought made clear to me more than anything else how non-violence was and is the epitome of courage. in our world today we have violence over religion and his views on the subject then show not only how big a visionary he was but also how correct he was. having said that, what made me like the message from this book the most was the hope it brings and hope is what we can cling to with all our faith in a world filled with violence and violent regimes .
