12I will give you a Talisman. Whenever you are in
doubt or when the self becomes too much with you,
apply the following test Recall the face of the
poorest and weakest man whom you may have seen
and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is
going to be of any use to him. Will he gain
anything by it? Will it restore him to a control
over his own life and destiny? In other words,
will it lead to Swaraj for hungry and spiritually
starving millions? Then you will find your
doubts and yourself melting away. Mahatma
Gandhi
