He was a symbol of a new idea. It may take many years for the lesson which he wanted to teach to spread throughout the world but that the ripples of his influence widen as the years go on, I am convinced. How remarkable it is that one man who chose to live simply to give himself to the improvement of the life of others and who applied himself primarily to the alleviation of the wrongs of the weakest and poorest people in his own environment should enjoy a reputation which seems to be based on so much firmer a foundation than that of many men in the past decade who strove for personal aggrandizement and material power. This is a lesson which should sink deep into the hearts of many who are leaders in the world today, for I believe that it is those who are truly concerned with the rights of human beings and the improvement of the conditions under which they live the world over who will eventually lead us to the peace and brotherhood which was the basis on which Mohandas K.
