Gandhi Jayanthi 2023: Life Lessons from Mahatma Gandhi

The following are some important lessons students can learn from Mahatma Gandhi’s life:

• Believe in Self : We should believe in ourselves. Even if the whole society stands against us, we must believe in what we are doing and follow it. Eventually, society will join hands, and help us win in our mission. This lesson was imparted through his dialogue “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, and then you win”.

• Equal Respect : Another important lesson is that we must respect everyone. Gandhiji always believed in equality. In South Africa, he faced prejudice and hence objected to equal treatment. He imparted that everyone irrespective of their financial standing, deserves respect.

• Non-Violence : Mahatma Gandhi was a preacher of non-violence. All the movements that he carried out for India’s Independence were boycotts, civil disobedience, and non-violent protests. Through his journey, we must learn to take a nonviolent approach towards anything that goes wrong against us.

• Honesty : Another lesson that we learn from Mahatma Gandhi is to always follow the path of honesty. According to him, it is only through truth that we can achieve moral and spiritual growth.

• Simplicity : The final life lesson that Gandhiji teaches us is that we must always live a simple life. We should not seek materialistic pleasure and instead value a minimalist lifestyle.
