"He is not only the greatest man in India, he is the greatest man on earth today." Rabindranath Tagore "Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this [Mahatma Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth." Albert Einstein "As I look
back at the things I recall most vividly about
Gandhi, I find myself impatient of those
pygmy minds which have
so often employed themselves in finding flaws and
inconsistencies in his life. The greatness of the
man and the circumstances in which he
lived subjected him to a scrutiny from which most of us
are mercifully preserved, not merely because so little
of our lives is really
known, but because even less is worth anybody's
attention. With Bapu I soon realised that nothing he did
was unobserved, and very
little that was observed was unrecorded. Can we wonder
if we find imperfection when every momentary weakness or
forgetfulness is
faithfully placed upon record? Yet before the
searchlight of history and the microscope of biography
this man stood unafraid, asking no mercy,
exposing every weakness in himself to pitiless
publicity. Not
only so-for, in addition to the truth, he had to
face a truly phenomenal barrage of misquotation,
misrepresentation and plain,
downright lying. ... “I
frankly confess, although it deeply grieves me to say
it, that I see in Mr. Gandhi, the patient sufferer for
the cause of righteousness and mercy, a truer
representative of the crucified Savior than the men
who have thrown him into prison and yet call
themselves by the name of Christ.” The English Bishop of Madras quoted by Savel
Zimand "Future generations will recognize in Gandhi one of the greatest spiritual forces of all times." Haridas Thakordas Muzumdar "A few petty minded individuals branded Gandhi 'the half naked fakir'. History proved that they were in fact naked morally and spiritually - Gandhi was the Enlightened One." "He (Gandhiji)
is the very embodiment of the Spirit of Truth, Purity
and Love. ... He is the incarnation of moral
energy." Verrier
Elwin "Non-violence is the natural creed of India, the home of religion, of toleration, of gentleness. It is woven into the fabric of her national idealism." Verrier Elwin "What Gandhi
has done is to reaffirm [non-violence], against the
drift of Western example and teaching. India believed in
it, while our forefathers were still barbarians.
[Gandhi] dares to preach that [India] can triumph by
adopting in its struggle the ancient Hindoo tactic."
Henry Noel
Brailsford "By dint of
ceaseless effort he [Gandhi] had come so close to the
karma-yoga (the way to God through selfless action in
the world) that he almost became a part of the Gita in
the end."
