It is because Gandhi was a great saint that he was so widely admired? Or because his accomplishments were on such a vast scale that even those of Jesus and Buddha pale in comparison? No. The universal admiration for Gandhi rests on a much less glamorous aspect of his character: To the very end he was a man of total self reflection. He saw, despite the praises of others, that he was absolutely insignificant and worthless. It is curious and paradoxical, but the greatest man of this world is the one who knows that he is the biggest criminal, the most foolish and pitiful, the ugliest one of all. Admiration is all the greater and more merited if the admired person is fully aware of his own defects. - George Ohsawa
