Gandhi Philosophy

In his autobiography, Gandhi ji tells about a Gujarati stanza which was his guiding principle. Here is its translation:

Return Good for Evil

For a bowl of water give a goodly meal;
For a kindly greeting bow thou down with zeal;
For a simple penny pay thou back with gold;
If thy life be rescued, life do not withhold;
Thus the words and actions of the wise regard;
Every little service tenfold they reward;
But the truly noble know all men as one,
And return with gladness good for evil done.

Is not it wonderful?
