( A misguided politicians agony )
Today Leadership has turned into Politics.
My life which started with Gandhism is now full of 'Brandy'ism.
One day I realised
That I have changed,
That I have become a slave to selfishness and
That I was living a worthless life.
In all these years, sometime, somewhere, my legs have gone in unexpected direction.
All my efforts to get back were in vain. I pleaded with my mind and my mind bluntly refused.
I lost interest in truth and developed interest in power & positions.
In the ideal SATYAGRAHA followed by Gandhi, what remains today is only AGRAHA - "The Anger".
Suddenly, one fine day I asked myself, " Gandhi - Where are you? " There was no answer.
Yesterday I had a dream. Bapu appeared and smiled.
I asked yet again - " Bapu, Where are you?"
He replied with a smile :
" I followed AHIMSA & SATYAGRAHA as my ideals to fight for the truth. People who wanted to follow me got sidetracked with Baseless HIMSA (Violence) & Truthless AGRAHA (Anger).
End HIMSA and add Truth (SATYA) to your AGRAHA (Anger).
Then I am very much there. Just beside you. And Bapu disappeared.
(I have translated to the best of my abilities).
