Drink
this poison !
When
Gandhiji was leaving for London to attend the
last-ditch “ Round-Table Conference “ to demand India ’s
independence from Britain ,
poet Meghani wrote to Mahatmaji :
“ Even as
you know the futility of your mission
O
Bapu
Drink this last cup of hemlock ( poison ).
You
, who have drank oceans of poison served by the British,
Do
not throw away this spoonful “
( free
translation from original Gujarati poem )
Poor people
of India
are telling Baba Ramdev , on the 7th day of his fast :
Even if
your talks fail
Even if
your mission seems doomed
Do not
shrink
Do not
despair.
To save
millions dying from hunger,
Like
Neelkantha of old
Drink the
poison that the Government
Will, no
doubt , serve to you.
As Gurudev
Tagore sang:
Even if no
one hears your call
Even if no
one joins your march thru the dark night
Keep going
alone.
With
regards
