inspiration from gandhi....

spent the first part of october reading gandhi's autobiography, what an amazing man who accomplished so much, sticking to his basic tenets of simplicity, truth and non-violence.   through his 'experiments with truth' he came to the conclusion that perfect truth can only come after the realisation of ahimsa (non-violence). to realise ahimsa one must love all as one loves oneself, but to identify with everything that lives is impossible without self-purification......    

simplify, simplify, simplify ..... to live simply, honestly and peacefully, something we could all do with methinks ; )
