Daniel Choi's Reflection 2

Hinduism in Action. Reflection #2

"I am a Muslim, Christian, and a Jew; and so are you"
When Gandhi says this when everyones together and they were talking about what should happen between the Muslims and the Hindus. One side was arguing that there should be a Pakistan land for the Muslims and then India land for the Hindus. Then Gandhi comes in and then tells them that he is a Muslim, Christian, and a Jew, which he meant that everyone was equal and everyone was the same. We were all made by God the same way and he does not say that he likes a another person more than someone else. We are all equal and all the races are equal.

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks; he becomes"
Gandhi is talking about how the people thinks is the way the person acts. When the Hindus were rebelling against the police and the British, they acted like people who were just killers. Gandhi wanted to make people fight with peaceful thoughts and peaceful actions. He did not want anyone to hurt the people they were rebelling against. When the people were acting violent he fasted for them to stop. When he did the people stopped acting violent and praying that Gandhi would stop because if he went any further with the fasting he would have had died. So he wanted to have people think the right way and peacefully because he did not want people to become corrupt.

Yoga.
 While I was doing yoga, I was able to feel very relaxed and i was able to feel safe while doing yoga. The experience was surprising because it was also my very first time doing yoga and it also felt like I was able to feel like I was in a different world. I was able to find out that yoga in Hinduism was important because the Hindus would have to concentrate and be to connect with the inner self. It is also important because it is able to relax them and help them achieve Nirvana.
