Awareness

When Gandhi was studying law at the University

College of London, a professor, whose last name was

Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed

prejudice and animosity towards him.

Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when

addressing him as he expected, there were always

"arguments" and confrontations.

One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining

room of the University, and Gandhi came along with

his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor

said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a

bird do not sit together to eat."

Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child

and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll

fly away," and he went and sat at another table.

Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take

revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi

responded brilliantly to all questions.

Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the

following question. "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking

down the street and found a package, and within was

a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of

money, which one would you take?" Without hesitating,

Gandhi responded,"The one with the money, of course."

Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your

place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?"

Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each

one takes what he doesn't have."

Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great

was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet

the word "..." and gave it to Gandhi.

Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his

desk,trying very hard to remain calm while he

contemplated his next move.

A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the

professor and said to him in a dignified but

sarcastically polite tone, "Mr. Peters, you signed the

sheet, but you did not give me the grade."

MORALS

Staying sane and calm on the face of great insult and

annoying provocation is your major step towards

wining whatever may be staring your face.. Anger is

partial Insanity. You can only figure out superior

route out of the problem when your senses are intact..

Indeed Wisdom is Stronger than weapons of war..

Everyman takes what he dosent have! Stay away

From partial Insanity!
