10 Powerful Phrases of Wisdom From Gandhi

by

mahatma-gandhi-hd-wallpapersMahatma Gandhi was a man that left man powerful messages to humanity before his time here was complete. Here is a list of 10 powerful phrases of wisdom he left to us all. One thing I wanted to add to this to help make it very practical is that for each one, try to see how it may relate to a certain instance or aspect of your life so you can truly begin incorporating this into your life. It is great to know quotes and phrases like these, but putting them into action is a big step to begin taking. Be sure to reflect on each one and see how you can make them a part of your life. Of course, share this list with others so they can do the same :)

1. Be the change you wish to see in the world

2. What you think, you become

3. Where there is love, there is life

4. Learn as if you’ll live forever

5. Your health is your true wealth

6. Have a sense of humor

7. Your life is your message

8. Action expresses priorities

9. Our greatness is being able to remake ourselves

10. Find yourself in the service of others

Some powerful words Gandhi left for us in his time. The important thing to remember is the very first phrase on here “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” If we are to truly make change here it is not about simply knowing or memorizing these phrases, we must truly live them and add them into our lives. Otherwise they are just words.

Much Love

    You want me to comment on something Ghandi said. You have to be kidding. The truth, the power, and the understanding is FAR beyond what my humble comments could add. Ghandi will NOT be forgotten …. ever

      The thing is- the things Ghandi talked about…are accessible to “the people”….everyone – anyone …who makes the time to consider things he said or did or wrote. They are not complicated…because life is not complicated. They are simple, clear and open to interpretation by the same person over a series of days or by different people. As life changes so may your connection to any of his teachings. You may revisit something and find it speaks louder to you on one particular day. So don’t be afraid of commenting on what Ghandi had to say- he would tell you that what you have to say is just as important. Even more now that he is gone. Take a leap. Might be fun. :)

    What about number 10: Find yourself in the service of others? I doubt Ghandi teaches us to be working/living for someone else rather than for us and our own moral values and goals. I guess the wording is misleading.
    Whats your notion on this?

      Pad,
      I believe that is a thought to approach in an abstract manner.

      Maybe consider that helping another may provide a perspective that you have not yet considered or may have simply forgotten temporarily.

      Just the first few thoughts that came to mind for me here. What do you think?

        Yeah J, I guess you’re right. I didn’t see it the way it should be seen. It’s not being obliged to your feudal lord, it is spending time and energy to help others out, because helping our peers and doing good without expecting something in return is truly making us happy and a more valuable person.

      I think what is meant by this is that be open to assisting and serving others. Not in the sense of needing to work for them constantly or be a slave to them type of thing, but more so helping out one another and working together is more along the lines of what is a more natural state for us. Right now we often find ourselves separated from the idea of helping one another because of some reason that generally comes from judgment of the action. I am not getting paid, what are they doing for me? They have never helped me in the past.. etc etc. Serving others is a great way to work together and take our wisdom into action.
      Peace!

      The “find yourself” aspect is interesting… Service to others sometimes is “walking around with a smile” or “pick up some garbage from the street and putting it in a bin”… Your true self can be partly observed by meditation but better and/ or darker aspects reveal itself just as easily in contact with others, their response to my thoughts and actions or my response to their thoughts and actions. As such any job or occupation involving others is considered “service” in India, in contrast to doing nothing all day, begging for food or meditating (self-focused).

      #10 means to give back to society, give back to others, and the universal law of karma will in turn reward the good deed. “Give onto others and you shall receive”.

    Sounds like very average fortune cookie wisdom. Meditate on the teaching of Jesus the Christ and find not only wisdom but eternal life.

    Would jesus not want you to walk around with a smile on your face?Or help others with no expectations?And learn who you really are?

    I do not believe Christ would speak so disparagingly of the words Ghandi shared with us. Rather, he would probably say that Ghandi gets it. If someone shines, it does not detract from the light that is already aglow.

    Big thumbs up Joe Martino! especially in your clarification to Pad…I find that I experience such a “flow” and peacefulness when in the moment of helping others. It is a state void of self consciousness (doubt) and control, I am simply in the moment, simultaneously sharing with another a new experience in which we are both learning.

    Nice articles Joe, You always write about what needs to be which is absolutely perfect , I wish you could also write about ” what is” and how it is becoming ” what needs to be” . The way you present a thought or an idea is just perfect.

    Great post Joe. I have Gandhi’s saying, ‘be the change you wish to see in the world’ next to my laptop as a reminder that it starts with me.

    When he was arrested in South Africa, he is quoted as saying, “We were marched off to a prison intended for Kaffirs… We could understand not being classed with whites, but to be placed on the same level as the Natives seemed too much to put up with. Kaffirs(blacks) are as a rule uncivilized.”

Watch SIRIUS!

Yekra Player

Yekra is a revolutionary new distribution network for feature films.

Sirius

“Sirius” is a feature length documentary that follows Dr. Steven Greer – an Emergency Medicine doctor turned UFO/ New Energy researcher – as he struggles to disclose top secret information about classified energy & propulsion techniques. Along the way, Dr. Greer investigates new technology and sheds light on criminal suppression. He accumulates over 100 Government, Military, and Intelligence Community witnesses who testify on record about their first-hand experiences with UFOs and with the cover-up.

In the course of his research Dr. Greer is asked to look at an amazing find: a humanoid specimen, 6 inches long from the Atacama Desert. Not until 2012 was he given permission to take bone samples and DNA from the specimen. At that same time a pre-eminent geneticist, hearing of this find, offered to do DNA testing. He enlisted an MD from the same university,- world renowned for his work with skeletal anomalies, to view the x-rays and CT scans. Their expertise along with Dr. Greer’s expansive knowledge of the subject bring more questions than answers. Where did this “Atacama Humanoid” come from? Are there others like it? What does it say about the origin of the human species?

While on this odyssey, the audience gains a whole new perspective on technology, human evolution, and clandestine organizations who have manipulated and controlled the public for centuries.
