Foreword by : Mahatma Gandhi Pp. 201/2007/PB Rs. 200 Nature has designed the wonderful human system through millions of years. No scientist can equip a laboratory so simple and yet so efficient as the digestive system we possess. No engineer has yet devised as self-action and self-regulating pump as the heart. Whether wireless or otherwise, no Marconi has designed a system of communications as perfect as our nervous system. The normal working of this body and mind cannot be altered or designed afresh by ignorant man-Hence, it will be futile for any mortal individual to attempt to change the course of life as he wishes it. All that can done is to co-operative with nature and arrange to maintain the environment in such a form as will guarantee its working at its best. |

Foreword by : Mahatma Gandhi Pp. 140/2007/PB Rs. 200 "I will give you a TALISMAN. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man (woman) whom you have seen, and ask yourself, it the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him (her). Will he (she) gain anything by it? Will it restore him (her) to a control over his (her) own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to SWARAJ (freedom) for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away." |
