Gandhi Smriti is now a Museum about the life of Mahatma Gandhi. A memorial here marks the location where he was assassinated. There are dozens of his quotations on display as well as other information and photo boards.
This one reads:
"I DENY BEING A VISIONARY. I DO NOT ACCEPT THE CLAIM
OF SAINTLINESS. I AM OF THE EARTH, EARTHLY... I AM PRONE
AS MANY WEAKNESSES AS YOU ARE. BUT I HAVE SEEN THE WORLD.
I HAVE LIVED IN THE WORLD WITH MY EYES OPEN. I HAVE GONE
THROUGH THE MOST FIERY IDEALS THAT HAVE FALLEN TO THE
LOT OF MAN. I HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS DISCIPLINE.
M.K. GANDHI
