In his book /American Scandal/, Pat Williams tells the story of Mahatma Gandhi’s trip to England to speak before Parliament.
The British government had opposed Indian independence, and Gandhi, one of its most vocal proponents, had often been threatened, arrested, and jailed as a result.
Gandhi spoke eloquently and passionately for nearly two hours, after which the packed hall gave him a standing ovation.
Afterward, a reporter asked Gandhi’s assistant, Mahadev Desai, how the Indian statesman had been able to deliver such a speech without any notes.
“You don’t understand Gandhi,” Desai responded.
“You see, what he thinks is what he feels.
What he feels is what he says.
What he says is what he does.
What Gandhi feels, what he thinks, what he says, and what he does are all the same.
He does not need notes.”
