00:00 I am reminded of the time when Mahatma Gandhi returned from South Africa to India.

00:05 So finally when he left South Africa for good and landed in India, Gopal Krishna Gokhale

00:09 told him, "No public life for you for at least one year.

00:14 Yes, you have been an outstanding leader in South Africa and you had victories and you

00:19 have the capability to mobilize people and rally them behind you.

00:23 But no public life in India for you for at least one year.

00:26 Just abstain, observe, watch, travel, know."

00:30 Gandhiji considered Gokhale his teacher and he followed the advice.

00:33 He just kept studying.

00:35 Then came the Champaran movement.

00:37 It's not that he had consciously selected to be in Champaran.

00:40 That too was a kind of an accident.

00:41 But then when you are prepared, then very solemn accidents happen with you.

00:47 (upbeat music)
