Mohan-Mala - Mahatma Gandhi

Mohan-MalaAugust 12I cannot picture to myself a time when no man shall be richer than another. ButI do picture to myself a time when the rich will spurn to enrich themselves atthe expense of the poor and the poor will cease to envy the rich. Even in amost perfect world, we shall fail to avoid inequalities, but we can and mustavoid strife and bitterness.YI, 7 Oct. 1926August 13The dream I want to realize is not the spoliation of the property of privateowners, but to restrict its enjoyment so as to avoid all pauperism, consequentdiscontent and the hideously ugly contrast that exists today between the livesand surroundings of the rich and the poor.YI, 21 Nov. 1929August 14Dead machinery must not be pitted against the millions of living machinesrepresented by the villagers scattered in the seven hundred villages of India.H, 14 Sept. 1935August 15Machinery to be well used has to help and ease human effort. The present useof machinery tends more and more to concentrate wealth in the hands of a fewin total dis-regard of millions of men and women whose bread is snatched by itout of their mouths.Ibid.www.mkgandhi.org Page 61
