By the tomb is a sign that reads:
The
Ghandi 'Talisman'
Recall the face of the poorest and the most helpless man
whom you may have seen and ask yourself, if the step you
contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he
be able to gain anything by it?
Will it restore him to a control over his own life and
destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj or self-rule
for the hungry and also spritually starved millions of
our countreymen? Then you will find your doubts and yourself
melting away.
