THE STORY
OF
MY EXPERIMENTS W/ TRUTH
by Mahatma Gandhi

"To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face one must be able to love the meanest of creation as oneself. And a man who aspires after that cannot afford to keep out of any field of life. That is why my devotion to Truth has drawn me into the field of politics; and I can say without the slightest hesitation, and yet in all humility, that those who say that religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion means."

"Identification with everything that lives is impossible without self-purification; without self-purification the observance of the law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream; God can never be realized by one who is not pure of heart. Self-purification therefore must mean purification in all the walks of life. And purification being highly infectious, purification of oneself necessarily leads to the purification of one's surroundings."

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen/And keep your eyes wide/The chance won't come again/And don't speak too soon/For the wheel's still in spin/And there's no tellin' who/That it's namin'./For the loser now/Will be later to win/For the times they are a-changin'.

--------------------------------------------
Sitting in a park in Paris, France/Reading the news and it sure looks bad/They won’t give peace a chance/That was just a dream some of us had

--------------------------------------------
Be kind to me/Or treat me mean/I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

Staring at the sea-Will she come?-Is there hope for me?-After all is said and done-Anything at any price-All of this for you-All the spoils of a wasted life-All of this for you-All the world has closed her eyes-Tired faith and worn and thin-For all we could have done-And all that could have been-Ocean pulls me close-And whispers in my ear-The destiny I've chose-All becoming clear-The currents have their say-The time is drawing near-Washes me away-Makes me disappear-And I decend from grace-In arms of undertow-I will take my place-In the Great Below
