I for one would think that it was quite easy for both Gandhiji and Rajaji to be what they were. Besides, the period was content with simplicity without pride. I have an anecdote on Rajaji: When they were travelling in car somewhere in down South, they had to stop en route for breakfast. Being in the car itself, an assistant was sent out to bring bf from hotel. The enthusiastic assistant brought sweet, kaaram and coffee. This angered Rajaji and he chided the assistant saying that he only needed 2 idlis and could not take anything more. "We are eating public money and it is bad to spend on ourselves. Compare today's lot. Today's lot will get indigestion and acidity if they do not eat public money. Having said all this, I would like to repeat there are greater Mahatmas and persons in ordinary men whom we would not know.
