they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
~ Mother Teresa
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is
natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or
not does not determine the value of what we have done.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) was known as the Father of Nation played a stellar role in India's
freedom struggle. Thinker, statesman and nationalist leader, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi not only led his own country
to independence but also influenced political activists of many persuasions throughout the world with his methods
and philosophy of nonviolent confrontation, or civil disobedience.
If he had wanted, Gandhi could have lived a very comfortable life as a lawyer. Instead he devoted it to prayer, fasting
and meditation. He wore basic clothes and lived off fruit, vegetables and milk. He gave up his personal comfort to bring
well-being to millions of others. He was one of the greatest men of this planet.
