Now, Mahatma, you will understand what a bloodthirsty brute he is. Even after I am dead he has tried to kill me again." "Well, and why not?" interrupted the Man. "What are hares for except to be killed?" "There, Mahatma, you hear him. Look at me, Man, who am I?" So he looked at the Hare and the Hare looked at him. Presently his face grew puzzled.
No one could suspect him of having an axe of his own to grind. He is beyond argument, because his conscience tells him he is right and his conscience must be right, and the people believe that he is right, and that his conscience must be right because he is a Mahatma, and as such outside and above caste.
"The avocado is excellent," I said. "There are numerous avocado groves near my center in California." Gandhi's face lit with interest. "I wonder if they would grow in Wardha? The SATYAGRAHIS would appreciate a new food." "Not unfertilized eggs." The Mahatma laughed reminiscently. "For years I would not countenance their use; even now I personally do not eat them.
Either, it says, there is no such person, or he is a fraudulent scamp with no greater occult powers well, than a hare. I confess that this view of Mahatmas is one that does not surprise me in the least. I never met, and I scarcely expect to meet, an individual entitled to set "Mahatma" after his name.
I am no member of any mystic brotherhood, and, as I have explained, no Mahatma, although I have called myself thus for present purposes because the name is a convenient cloak. I repeat that I am ignorant if there are such people as Mahatmas, though if so I think Jorsen must be one of them. Still he never told me this.
The fading sun cast a last gleam over the palms and banyans; the hum of night and the crickets had started. The atmosphere was serenity itself; I was enraptured. A solemn chant led by Mr. Desai, with responses from the group; then a GITA reading. The Mahatma motioned to me to give the concluding prayer. Such divine unison of thought and aspiration!
Why does he not make people believe that he is Mahatma Ghandi and the Ali brothers rolled into one? As the trick is done for a means of livelihood, why does he not make people see him as Dr. Barnardo asking for funds for charities. His limitations are unbounded, yet he sticks to this absurd rope and the boy climbing up it. "Tum tua res agito paries cum proximus ardet."
Addressing a huge concourse of people of the city of Madras Hindus and Mahomedans numbering over 50,000, assembled on the South Beach opposite to the Presidency College, Madras, on the 12th August 1920, Mahatma Gandhi spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Friends, Like last year, I have to ask your forgiveness that I should have to speak being seated.
"Karma yoga, the path of selfless service, is perhaps the noblest of the paths if you can avoid feeling superior to those whom you serve. Mahatma Gandhi was a karma yogi, though he never actually attained enlightenment." "How can he be so sure?" I wondered. "Maybe Gandhi *had* attained enlightenment." I also wondered if Atmananda would end up serving himself rather than the Infinite.
Set times of worship not only aid us to worship at those times but at others too; and, of course, the more often we try to worship at other times, the more able we become to make good use of the established occasions. Among the people of our day, Mahatma Gandhi is an outstanding example of applied religion.
