Experiment is what confirms the hypothesis !

Story:

The book is a real description of a great man's real experiments with truth. The truth which we all know 'always prevails'. We live in a country which believes in 'Satyamev Jayate'. I think one should read this book, not only as a biography of a great man, but also to look into the 'truths' of life.


I read this book very long back, but the impressions of its words are still fresh on my memories. Lets not look at it with a political or critical point of view. Lets see what it gives us. It tells you that all of us have a Gandhi inside us. We may like or dislike Mahatma Gandhi as a person, but lets see what he has to say. He tells us about his childhood life, like when he had smoked tobacco, then when he tried to commit the suicide in a temple, and many more.


Every time you read an incidence, you find yourself very much at the same place where Gandhi ji stood at that moment. When Gandhi ji says, "..... and after that I never believed if somebody told me that he wants to take his life...", you can really feel that if you were he, you also could have felt lack of courage to consume poison to do suicide. When he tells how he had an urge to go to his wife, leaving his ailing father. And how did he feel guilty when in the mean time his father passes away. Every time you find that one is not born as a great man, rather his self reformation makes him "The Mahatma"


If I sit upon writing a detailed review, this space will be short. So I will confine my review to certain portions. In the later part of the book, when Gandhi ji was in South Africa, and the local politicians once try to Lynch him by carrying out a false campaign and provoke a mob to kill him, he has described how he escaped with the help of local police and his friends. It again depicts the provocation of the politicians against a person who is fighting for the rights of few underprivileged masses. You find it very near to present day situations. Further it describes the anxiety and concern of local authorities, as well as of Mahatma Gandhi, for the situation. If you ask yourself, how you could have felt in such situation, you will find your answer very similar to the description of Mahatma Gandhi's.


A numerous instances are there in the book, where you really feel that Mahatma Gandhi has really experimented and written inferences of his experiments with truth. I recommend this book to every body in the younger generation, if you really want them to know about the "Nature of Truth".
