FELT ASHAMED
M.K.Gandhi was not born Mahatma.He was later on named Mahatma by his
Disciples and followers.
In the year 1884, his father was gravely sick i.e. counting his remaining days.
His father was suffering from Fistula. Gandhiji was assigned duty of taking
care of his terminally ill father.
It was his duty to prepare the medicated liniment,and apply it and take the
over all care of his father.
But Gandhiji was tired of this and thus made many mistakes and many
absents because his mind dwelt some where else.
He was young and married very early in life.So you can guess where mind
flickered most,definitely not studies because that could be done sitting near
father as well.
His thoughts had sex and young Kasturba.Nothing amazing.
And when his father was taking his last breaths, He was with his wife in
cozy bed.Luckily his Uncle was there near his father.
When Gandhiji learnt that, he felt ashamed himself very much.This fact,
he himself admitted in his autobiography.His autobiography is available at
all most all Khadi Ashram outlets.If you do not believe me,you may check
it for yourself.
