The quotation is etched into a large triangular stone and reads:
"GANDHI
A LIVING TRUTH
HE STOPPED AT THE
THRESHHOLDS OF THE
HUTS OF THE THOUSANDS
OF DISPOSSESSED, DRESSED
LIKE ONE OF THEIR OWN. HE
SPOKE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN
LANGUAGE, HERE WAS LIVING
TRUTH AT LAST, AND NOT ONLY
QUOTATIONS FROM BOOKS, FOR
THIS REASON, THE MAHATMA, THE
NAME GIVEN TO HIM BY THE PEOPLE
OF INDIA, IN HIS REAL NAME. WHO ELSE
HAS FELT LIKE HIM THAT ALL INDIANS
ARE HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD? WHEN
LOVE CAME TO THE DOOR OF INDIA, THAT
DOOR WAS OPENED WIDE. AT GANDHI'S CALL
INDIA BLOSSOMED FORTH TO NEW GREATNESS,
JUST AS ONCE BEFORE IN EARLIER TIMES,
WHEN BUDDHA PROCLAIMED THE TRUTH OF
FELLOW-FEELING COMPASSION AMONG
ALL LIVING CREATURES.
