Manifestation of Truth....&.... MAHATMA..

An Autobiography

Or

The Story of my experiments with truth

-         M. K. Gandhi

While involving in the discussions about M.K.Gandhi I’m always prone to utter confusion, whether to speak for him or against. Just with a little understanding about this man from my 9^th and 10^th academics never made me an earnest contender in adjudging his character. As most of my companions stood against him dwelling over his misconducts I would always reprimand at the absence of subtlety in their understandings. I never knew whether any of them made an attempt to understand his thoughts behind his actions or knowing what his way of living was. I never know understood why people criticise who was called a MAHATMA then??? If I were to speak out I would have to know him better. It is all how it started with “The Story of my experiments with truth -M.K.Gandhi.”

When it comes to expressing our opinions we tend to interpret our understandings, either those we heard from others or of the ones we learned ourselves through reading. When it happens through conversation or hearing, the perception towards the speaker dominates the authenticity of the information while creating an impression about any particular aspect. For example in any altercations most of the parents tends to believe his kid to be correct without any rational thinking. Similarly, when this understanding is attempted through reading, narrative skills and the vividness of the creation by the author predominates irrespective of the information rather than the genuineness of the conception.

About this book, M.K.Gandhi explained a few of his life experiences. Most of the cases he just narrated those incidents without any attempts towards conclusions in favor of him or at least against anyone. At many instances he depicted his intentions behind his activities and always gave the reader a chance to judge rather than supporting himself. There wasn’t any criticism over anyone, there has always been a rational explanation given behind the intentions of every wrongdoing. His narration to make one understand that in any case of misconduct the person who commits it is never bad. Its just his perception towards that particular scenario that is erroneous is certainly a subtle way of the reader better way of elevating the readers moral values. His methodology of understanding any situation certainly encourages the reader to learn understanding the root cause of any wrongdoings so as to avoid them rather than limiting ourselves to just reacting to those.

This book is certainly inspires all those who wish to seek truth, be rational for judgement, live simple and more than anything who’s willing to take social responsibility. No mater what you think of when you hear the name “M.K.Gandhi” this book certainly elevates the noble traits of you. I don’t mean to say your impression towards him changes by reading this book but I would just say anyone can become a better person by reading this book. Most of anything I am sure that you shall love this book once you finish it and encourage others to read this book.

Finally I wish to extend my thanks to the publishers for subsidising this book, respects to author for sprouting the sense of belonging towards fellowmen. I’m also thankful to all my contemporaries who suggested me and inspired me reading this book.

THANK YOU
