“Mahatma Gandhi's Poverty Is Very Costly”(OSHO)
In India, railway trains have four classes the air-conditioned, the first class, the second class and the third class. And the country is so poor that even to afford a third-class ticket is difficult for almost half of the people of the land. Gandhi started traveling in third class.
"This is simply crowding the third class, it is already too crowded. This is not helping the poor." And you will be surprised; because Gandhi was traveling in the third class, the whole compartment was booked for him. In a 60ft compartment, where at least 80 to 90 persons would have traveled, he alone is traveling.
And Gandhi’s biographers will write, "He was so kind to the poor." He used to drink goat's milk because that is the cheapest, and the poorest of people can afford it.
Naturally, everybody who is conditioned with the idea immediately appreciates what a great man he is. But you don't know about his goat! I am a little crazy, because I don't care about Mahatma Gandhi much, but I care certainly about the goat. I inquired everything about the goat, and I found that his goat was being bathed every day with Lux toilet soap. The food of the goat cost in those days 10 rupees, ten rupees was the salary of a schoolteacher for one month. But nobody will look into these matters.
Only one woman, a very intelligent woman in Mahatma Gandhi's circle, Sarojini Naidu later on she became the governor of North India joked once that to keep Mahatma Gandhi poor, we have to destroy treasures.
His poverty is very costly. But it worked. As a politician he became the greatest politician because the poor people thought, "This is the man who is our real representative because he lives like a poor man in a cottage, he drinks goats' milk, he travels in third class." But they don't know the background that to maintain his poverty was very costly. The idea he got was from the Christians. #NotMyMahatma #GandhiJayanti
