"Whenever you are in doubt or when the self becomes too much with you, try the following expedient: Recall the face of the poorest and most helpless man you have ever seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him.

Will he be able to gain anything by it?
Will it restore to him control over his own life and destiny?

In other words, will it lead to self-rule (Gram Swaraj) for the hungry and spritually starved millions of our countrymen? 

Then you will find your doubts and yourself melting away."

- Gandhi's Talisman,
reading by actor Ben Kingsley
at the Multi-Faith Service on the 50th Anniversary of the assassination of Gandhi
