The Terrible Meek
An Appreciation of
MOHANDAS K. GANDHI
By Clifford Mandhardt
It is a grim fight and a weary one, this fight of the Seeker of Truth: for the vow of the Truth-seeker is harder to keep than that of the warrior or the widow.
For a few hours does the warrior fight; the flames soon end the widow’s struggle with death:
But the battle of the Knight of Truth goes on without ceasing:
Thus, lay hold on the sword of His Name, O my Brother and fight as long as life lasts!
