People in these tough economic times could learn a lot from Gandhi, who eschewed material possessions and instead focused on achieving spiritual enlightenment. Oh yeah, and India's independence.
It is only natural that the owner of Gandhi's few belongings (consisting of his eyeglasses, sandals, a bowl, a plate, and a pocketwatch), rather than using them to teach a consumer-frenzied people about what is truly meaningful in life, took those items last Thursday and sold them at auction for $1.8 MILLION.
It seems that the world has gone terribly awry when one literally puts a price tag on the belongings of an ascetic.
