“Ghandi’s seven sins:
- Wealth without work
- Pleasure without conscience
- Knowledge without character
- Commerce without morality
- Science without humility
- Worship without sacrifice
- Politics without principle
Who sinned to deprive a generation of youth the hope of work?
Who sinned to abase his knowledge to the character a scavenger?
Who sinned to steal from the poor to give to the rich?
Who sinned to elevate science to the knowledge divine without God?
Who sinned to sacrifice the future of poor children in their worship of money?
Who sinned to corrupt  politicians yet praising the principles of power?
