Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a fabulous and unforgettable man.

His knowledge about the laws of God is worthy of our deepest respect and admiration.

One of the most beautiful passages of his life is reported with competence by the British filmmaker Richard Attenborough.

The movie show the bloody civil war that followed the partition of India in Pakistan Muslim and Hindu India.

The deaths only brought retaliations and more victims, until Gandhi, spiritual leader respected by Hindus and Muslims, started a fasting and swore that he would not eat until the carnage ended, even if it meant his death by starvation.

This was only one of the many fasts of Gandhi defending the non-violence.

A mad Hindu visited Mahatma and, when getting to the foot of the bed where he was, threw him a piece of bread while yelling:

I am already going to hell and I do not want the guilt of your death also in my soul! Eat, please!

Gandhi, serene as always, replied:

Why are you going to hell?

The Hindu was trembling when answered:

I had a little son, sort of this size, who was murdered by the Muslims. So, I took the first Muslim child that I could find and killed him, busting his head against a wall.

Gandhi closed his eyes and cried on the inside.

After recovering himself, because he knew the importance of his play facing those people and, with hope in his voice, said:

I know a way of escaping from hell.

Many boys are now without their parents because of the carnage. Find a Muslim boy, with sort of this size - repeating the gesture made by his visitor a while ago - and raise him as if he were your own. Adopt him.

The disoriented man was surprised with that proposal, and tried to assimilate it in the best way. A breeze of hope came to his face.

However, Gandhi had not ended his speech:

Pay attention to only one detail: you must not forget that you should raise him as a Muslim.

The Hindu was not prepared for that proposal. It was very different from anything that he felt, everything that he thought. It was a revolutionary proposal.

It was the revolution in the law of love, taught by Gandhi, so masterful.

The man fell at the feet of the master. The madness had abandoned his eyes, that were weeping abundantly.

Gandhi put his hands on the head of the Hindu, blessing him from the bottom of his heart, hoping that he could accept his new path, the path to leave hell.

When the Hindu left, he had a little bit of peace in his heart, and the proposal of the law of love in his hands: proposal of forgiveness and self-forgiveness.

There is nothing like love, in all its sparkle, to liberate us from this state of soul of hell.

Yes, we are already able to understand that hell is not a place marked out in space, but a temporary state of soul.

For some, disoriented and repeat offenders in the same mistakes, this state of spirit seems an eternity, but this eternity only lasts for the duration of the learning time, of awakening to love.

Love covers a multitude of sins, as the Apostle Peter has so well said.

The law of cause and effect embraces the law of lovingness and both, always interconnected, carry us to the much-desired happiness.
