Meeting with Mahatma Gandhi from "summary" of Autobiography of a Yogi (Hungarian) by Paramahansa Yogananda
I had the great fortune of meeting with Mahatma Gandhi during my time in India. The encounter was a profound experience that left a lasting impression on me. Gandhi's presence exuded a sense of peacefulness and wisdom that was truly awe-inspiring. As we spoke, I was struck by his humility and kindness, despite his immense influence and power. During our conversation, Gandhi shared his thoughts on a wide range of topics, from spirituality to politics. His words were filled with wisdom and insight, and I found myself hanging on to every word he said. It was clear to me that he was a man of great integrity and vision, dedicated to the principles of truth and nonviolence. One of the most striking aspects of our meeting was Gandhi's simplicity and humility. Despite his status as a revered leader, he lived a simple and frugal life, dedicated to serving others and living in harmony with the world around him. His example inspired me to reflect on my own life and the values that I held dear. Gandhi's commitment to nonviolence and peaceful resistance was another powerful lesson that I took away from our meeting. He believed that true change could only come through love and understanding, rather than through force or violence. His message of unity and tolerance resonated deeply with me, and I felt a renewed sense of purpose and conviction in my own spiritual path.- My meeting with Mahatma Gandhi was a transformative experience that left a lasting impact on me. His wisdom, humility, and commitment to nonviolence continue to inspire me to this day. I am grateful for the opportunity to have met such a remarkable individual, and I will always carry his teachings with me as I continue on my own spiritual journey.
