00:00I am reminded of the time when Mahatma Gandhi returned from South Africa to India.

00:05So finally when he left South Africa for good and landed in India, Gopal Krishna Gokhale

00:09told him, no public life for you for at least one year.

00:14Yes, you have been an outstanding leader in South Africa and you had victories and you

00:19have the capability to mobilize people and rally them behind you.

00:23But no public life in India for you for at least one year.

00:26Just abstain.

00:27Observe, watch, travel, no.

00:30Gandhiji considered Gokhale his teacher and he followed the advice.

00:33He just kept studying.

00:35Then came the Champaran movement.

00:37It's not that he had consciously selected to be in Champaran.

00:40That too was a kind of an accident.

00:41But then when you are prepared, then very solemn accidents happen with you.
