'To know is to feel, to feel is to act and to act is to live'
Contributor: Ajay Sharma
Like each time, this short expression shared by Ajay long back on an email is a manifestation of profoundness in simplicity; finding the extra-ordinary in ordinary mundane-ness of life. Here's how Ajay interacted with Gandhiji in the book he was reading and in the surroundings he was living.
This morning I
started reading "Gandhi The Man" and was totally absorbed in it.
Gandhi was a keen observer of his behavior that helped him experiment with
himself.
Gandhi keep revolving around in my
mind while I was doing shram daan around my friends place. Then to find a
better place to read I went uphill to a serene monastery nearby and to my surprise, I found little monks cleaning the premises. I volunteered cleaning the
drains along with them, and find that the little monk was sparing the
earthworms from getting hurt and collecting them to restore to a safe place. It
struck me hard how he extended non- violence even to tiny creatures. Everyone
was communicating through signs and smiles. Then I moved with one of the monk
to temple,sat in silence and examined the vital energy locked up inside. As to Gandhiji- to know was to feel, to feel was to act and to act was to live.
