Sitting beneath a small tree in front of us, legs folded, hands resting gently in his lap, was a man who really did see himself in all and all in him. From Gandhi's every gesture and word, from everything he was doing for India and the world, and above all from the deep inner peace we felt in his presence, it was clear that there was no dividing line between his happiness and ours. He had left behind every thought of "I" and "mine."
