Gandhiji's Symbolic Acts Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
Gandhiji's Symbolic Acts
Gandhiji's symbolic acts
were aimed at different
kinds of liberation.
He wanted to
deliver Indian religious
wisdom from the sclerosis
and blindness into
which it had sunk
by reason of the gross
injustices of a system
which had become
untrue to itself.
" He wanted to deliver Indian religious wisdom from the sclerosis and blindness into which it had sunk by reason of the gross injustices of a system which had become untrue to itself" Great lines
From what I know, Tony, of the Hindu and the three Abrahamic traditions, all have strains within them that proclaim and preserve the truth that love is supreme, and all have aspects that give religion a bad name, that are exclusionary and the antithesis of love. Gandhi, as I understand hi, was able to recognize and hold to the former. -Glen
This is really a beautiful poem on liberation and injustices of a system having touching expression. Thanks for sharing.

Gandhi ji was a Mahatma - a great soul, who recognised the essential truth in religion and philosophy of this world. Any religion or philosophy, if it brings about hatred and violence, then it is no more sublime or worthwhile. There are still many who do not understand his symbolic acts.........10 .
