Gandhiji wrote a letter to Kasturba, his wife, who fell sick. She was in a critical condition. But Gandhiji could not go and visit her because he was very busy with the freedom movement. He wrote a letter to his wife who was ailing and sick. What did he write?
”Kasturba, don’t feel sorry that I am not with you. Everything happens as per the will of God. Do not think that doctors can prolong your life. It is God that prolongs your life and not the doctor. The doctor assists him. The doctor is an instrument, that’s all.”
He wrote, ”Kasturba, understand that you are not going to die. It is the body that is going to die. But you are not going to die; you are permanent. Understand that you are not the body. That is the purpose of this life.”
Finally Gandhiji wrote a beautiful message to his wife. ”The purpose of life is to know the imperishable consciousness in this perishable body. Body is perishable; consciousness is imperishable. To recognise this is the very purpose of life.”
