Great Soul

Gandhi was humble and simple but cultivated the will power in any of his ventures; be it studies or the person himself.

With lot of expertise and experience in South Africa , he returned to India.
Gradually, he made acquaintances with several other political leaders of India and started engaging himself in the activities of Indian National Congress which raised the first freedom campaign for the Indians.

Five  principles of Gandhi that are noteworthy to follow and practice, are:
1) Patience: It enabled him to be tolerant during the tough situations.
2) Perseverance: Determined and repeated efforts proved successful.
3) Modesty: Simplicity and Humility are hallmarks.
4) Peace lover: He invented the concepts of Nonviolence (Ahimsa) and Non-Cooperation movements against the British government. But at the same time, he volunteered to serve the soldiers during the wartime also.
5) Pious: He acted based on the inner instinct or call, which he identified as God. This manifested as honesty to the core.
