Mahatma Gandhi’s Commitment to serving the Needy

(Excerpts from Pujya Bapuji’s Satsang)
Mahatma Gandhi had, among his aides a doctor who had been to abroad. A woman was very sick. She come to Gandhiji. Gandhiji said to the doctor give neem leaves and buttermilk to this poor woman. She will be alright. Doctor told the treatment to the woman an forgot all about it.
After a couple of hours gnadhji asked him, did you give neem leaves to that woman.
The doctor said she must have taken..
Did you given her buttermilk? Er yes she would have taken.
What kind of doctor are you? Have you verified whether or not she has taken neem leaves and buttermilk? Doctor job doesn’t end with examining the patient and prescribing medicine. So long as the patient is not cured is the duty of the doctor to treat the pertinent and to eradicate his trebles.
Gandhiji himself went to the woman and asked good woman! Haven you taken buttermilk? The woman said Bapuji’s I have no money at lest one paisa is require for a glass a buttermilk. Where can I bring that open paisa form?
Gnadhji was pained to see the pathetic condition of that woman. He scolder the doctor and said. Couldn’t you provide her with a goes of buttermilk by requesting somebody in the villages or by buying it with your won money?
Gandhiji gave neem leaves and buttermilk to the woman and she become Albright.
Gandhi heart was so full of live fellow feeling sympathy and compassing for the poor! That is the reason why cores of people remember him as Mahatma ( a saint).

Mahatma Gandhi’s quick wittedness.
Once Gandhiji was traveling by train. The scenery outside was very beautiful . He was standing at the door and looking at India natural beauty. It so happened that one of his chappals slipped away and fell down from the train. Without wasting a moment gnadhji threw the second chappla also. One of his companions asked why did you throw the second chappla?
Gandhiji said it would have been of no use to me. And the fallen chappla to would have been of no use to the finder. Now at lest the finder can use the full pair. The questioner was amazed and delighted at Gandhiji quick wittedness full of beneficence.
