I attended a lecture by Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi

[NathanATX]

Here are a couple of quotes from tonight's lecture by Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi:

"We've been fighting, killing, and waging wars in the name of God, but now it's time we work for peace in the name of God."

"Charity is giving a little and thinking we're done. Compassion is giving and getting involved."

"The trouble with the peace movement today is that we want results quickly. Peace shouldn't be a token gesture, it should be a sacrifice. If we really believe in something, we must be willing to go to the limit. We must do things wholeheartedly instead of just making token gestures."

"Burnout is the result of high expectations and slow results. Be a "peace farmer." Just plant & water the seeds, leave the growing to God."

More is coming soon...

Sounds like it was really interesting. I wish I could have heard him speak.
