Acharya - Lead by Example
A mother brought her young son to Mahatma Gandhi. She begged, "Please, Mahatma.
Tell my son to stop eating sugar.'"
Gandhi paused, then said, "Bring your son back in two weeks." Puzzled, the woman
thanked him and said that she would do as he had asked.
Two weeks later, she returned with her son. Gandhi looked the :youngster in the
eye and said, "Stop eating sugar." Grateful but bewildered, the woman asked,
"Why did you tell me to bring him back in two weeks? You could have told him the
same thing then."
Gandhi replied, "Two weeks ago, 1 was eating sugar."
"Dan, embody what you teach, and teach only what you have embodied."
Tell my son to stop eating sugar.'"
