Though the flag of his glorious deeds in the field of education flattered throughout the world; yet physically he was not a very strong Robinhood type man. In every picture of Bapu, we see the reflection of his very ordinary patriotic spirit. But his physical health was not as complete as compared to his educational health. If one analyses the life of Gandhi one things gets noticeable that the ideal of non-violence that he established all over the world is some who related to his physical status. According to his Autobiography, he was physically very ordinary, not strong, thin not insular. Yet all of his friends were very healthy. Therefore, due to his physical weakness, he became mentally weak also- He himself has confessed this in his autobiography. He was afraid of ghosts, darkness, and fights. He has even admitted that his wife was braver than him. Infect, it is absolutely true that his physical weakness has turned himself mentally very weak in his early life. As a result, he feared to face adverse situations. In his early life, these habitual behaviors made him mental very feeble. But being an educationist I can’t agree with his statement about ownself. He was an actual symbol of strongest mind-psychology because his life-style, dress pattern in respect of climate, food habits, non-violence perception and national movements - all these have the proofs of mental stability and strengthen for us. | | Keywords : | | - psychology
