If we take care of ourselves, the things will take care of themselves.

गांधीजी के विचार से प्रार्थना धर्म का आधारभूत तत्त्व है। संसार का कोई भी आदमी धर्म के बिना नहीं रह सकता है और यही वजह है कि प्रार्थन हमारे जीवन का सबसे आधारभूत तत्त्व है। हम सभी का जन्म मानवता की सेवा करने के लिए हुआ है। जब तक कि हमारे पास अपने कर्तव्य का निर्वाह का भरपूर ज्ञान है हर भी हम उसे सही से निभा नहीं पाएंगे। यदि हम अपने कर्तव्य को सही से निभाना चाहते हैं तो इसके लिए हमारे अंदर कुछ अनुशासन होना आवश्यक है जो प्रार्थना के माध्यम से आता है। जब हम स्वयं अपना खयाल रखना शुरू कर देते हैं तो चीजें खुद ही अपना खयाल रखने लग जाती है।

Gandhiji says “It is better in prayer to have a heart without words, than words without a heart.” Explain.गांधीजी ने कहा था, “प्राथना के लिए आवश्यक है। कि आत्मा बिना शब्द को हो न कि शब्द बिना आत्मा का।” इस उद्धरण की व्याख्या करें।

Answer»

According to Gandhiji, prayer is not mere repetition of words. Even any amount of Ramanama is futile if it fails to make our soul pure. In discourse of prayer we must have a heart without words, then only we may experience the magic of prayer and get inward peace.

गांधीजी के अनुसार, प्रार्थना मात्र शब्दों की पुनरावृति नहीं है। यहां तक कि राम नाम का हजारों बार किया गया जाप बेकार है यदि वह हमारी आत्मा की अतल गहराइयों से नहीं निकला है। प्राथना पर हो रहे प्रवचन का तात्पर्य यही है कि हमारी आत्मा शब्द विहीन हो जाय, तभी हम प्रार्थना की अद्भुत शक्ति से परिचित हो पाएंगे और अंतरात्मा में शांति का अनुभव करेंगे।

Write a paragraph in about 150 words regarding the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi in National Freedom Movement.भारत के राष्ट्रीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में महात्मागांधी के योगदान को रेखांकित करते हुए लगभग 150 शब्दों में एक अनुच्छेद लिखें।

Answer»

The contribution of Mahatma Gandhi in National Freedom Movement was immense. He was the perfect embodiment of the traditions of India. He was also the heritage of all who walked before him in the freedom struggle of our country. Obviously it was under his guidance the Congress became a mass movement in our country. The country stood against the tyrannical rule of the British. The Indian freedom movement took inspiration from Tilak and became revolutionary under the influences of extremists. But Gandhiji always often supported a peaceful movement as he believed in peace and non-violence. His political acumen led India to the final victory. He taught the Indian people how to keep patience and fight for their injustice. Ahimsha was his powerful weapon which is effective in all critical situations.

He will ever remain as an apostle of peace in the present war-stricken world. The two greatest weapons Truth and Non-violence will never lose their power. He was the real Mahatma.

भारत के राष्ट्रीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में महात्मागांधी का विशाल योगदान है। भारतीय परंपरा के वे साक्षात मूर्त स्वरूप थे। उनसे पहले जिन्होंने भी भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम को गति देने के प्रयास में अपना प्राण न्योछावर किया उन सभी स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों के साथ ही वे हमारे लिए एक धरोहर हैं। निश्चय ही उनके मार्गदर्शन का ही परिणाम था कि कांग्रेस के जन-जन के मन में बसने लग गया। सारा देश अंग्रेजों के अत्याचारपूर्ण शासन के विरोध में खड़ा हो गया। लेकमान्य बाल गंगाधर तिलक से भारतीय स्वतंत्रता संग्राम ने प्रेरणा ग्रहन किया और चरमपंथियों (गरम दल के लोगों) के प्रभाव में आकर आंदोलनकारी बन गया। लेकिन, जबकि गांधीजी ने हमेशा एक शांतिपूर्ण आंदोलन का समर्थन किया क्योंकि वे शांति और अहिंसा में विश्वास करते थे। उनकी राजनैतिक कुशाग्र बुद्धि ने भारत को अंतिम जीत दिलाई। उन्होंने हम भारतीयों को सिखाया कि किस तरह से धैर्य बनाए रखें तथा अनयाय के विरोध में लड़े। अहिंसा उनका सशक्त हथियार था जो हर विशम परिस्थिति में कारगर सावित हुआ।

वर्तमान में युद्ध की विभीषिका के किनारे पर खड़े विश्व में उन्हें आज भी एक विचार का समर्थक कहा जाता है। सत्य और अहिंसा, उनके दो ऐसे धारदार हथियार है जिसकी क्षमता कभी कम नहीं होगी। वास्तव में वे एक महात्मा थे।
