Letter from the Editor

“Recall the face of the poorest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be any use of him. Will he gain anything of it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starring millions?

Then you will find yourself, your doubts melting away.”

M.K.Gandhi

We are celebrating Mahatma Gandhi’s 137th birth anniversary. On this occasion, we salute all those who have done their duty and peacefully left this world to their final abode. What was their duty? Their duty was to love humanity. And to love humanity you must possess a very gritty and high level charactery in you.

Gandhiji always talked about self-reformation because self-reformation is more important than social reformation. His art of living was such that you can easily learn how to live simply by seeing him for once or twice. He ever earned for waste paper material. He would never throw, when a pencil would become very small. He knew that this country is starved of resources. We must care about each & every small step taken by us. Our small steps can create big impact on others especially on those who do not come in affluent or privileged class. This is must for the Swaraj.

Samar salutes this brilliant idea. It urges people to regularly have some introspection. Try to find where your steps are going. Try to rethink about yourself about your next work or next deed. We are with those who are winning their self and then reaching out to conquer the world.

Thank you.

Yours truly,
Editor
