MAHATMA GANDHI and WHALES






 Gandhi's thoughts with special reference to our remaining whale populations.







"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes."
                                                           Mahatma Gandhi







"A 'NO' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'YES' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble."
                                                          Mahatma Gandhi







"Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul."

Well, we don't.

The love of Nature comes from a spirituality deep within.


 


The love of and understanding of Nature come from a spirituality deep within. I feel pity for those of us who leave it buried and never discover the real world around us.




"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
                                                                             Mahatma Gandhi



The microscopic shell of a marine protozoa displays incredible beauty.








"Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul."
                                                                             Mahatma Gandhi


We, like other primates, share feelings of love for others.





"What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea."
                                                                             Mahatma Gandhi


 An annual whale hunt attracts morbid curiosity in the face of overwhelming world disapproval.






"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves."
                                                                            Mahatma Gandhi
 
 An oil refinery stands in stark contrast to incredible natural beauty.

Gandhi offers insight into today's world.


When I read the paper or watch the news I am troubled by not what I hear but by what it means.
