Messing Up The Future-Changing The Past

http://bln.gs/b/1yb2t1 "I have not concieved my mission to that of a knight-errant wandering everywhere to deliver people from difficult situations. My humble occupation has been to show people how they can solve their own difficulties." "I deny being a visonary. I do not accept the claim of saintliness. I am the earth, earthy...I am prone to as many weaknesses as you are. But, I have seen the world. I have lived in the world with my eyes open. I have gone through the most fiery ordeals that have fallen to the lot of man. I have gone through discipline. I am not concerned at all with appearing to be consistent. In my pursuit after Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new things. Old age as I am, I have no feeling that I have ceased to grow inwardly or that my growth will stop with the dissolution of the flesh. What I am concerned with is my readiness to obey the call of my Truth, my God, from moment to moment. At the time I am writing, I never think of what I have said before. My aim is not to be consistent with my previous statements on a given question, but to be consistent with Truth, as it may present itself to me at a given moment. The result has been that I have grown from truth to truth; I have saved my memory an undue strain; and what is more, whenever I have been obliged to compare my writing even fifty two years ago with the latest, I have discovered inconsistency between the two. But friends who observe inconsistency will do well to take the meaning that my latest writings may yield unless of course they prefer the old. But, before making the choice, they should try to see if there is not an underlying and abiding consistency between the two seeming inconsistencies. ~Harijan and speeches of Mathatma Gandhi (Maxwell Fist Full of Tears: http://youtu.be/KabCkV_oW48)
