In plain words
That Motīlāl was a person who swam in every kind of luxury and fortune. A man of great riches. In that age he earned forty thousand rupees a month. His houses were all like royal palaces. But he did not refuse Gāndhī's word; he agreed, gave up that house in such a way that it became the House of Self-Rule, and entered the Congress. Because he joined, his wife Svarūparāṇī too took part in it. By taking part in this movement, the two of them met with troubles of some kinds. At that time Nehrū too entered into it. Then, in 1942, Gāndhī began the Quit movement. In this movement, some differences of opinion began between the two. Gāndhī, without mercy, removed Nehrū from that movement. But Nehrū too was no ordinary man. Once he took hold of a thing, he would let go even of his life, but he would not let go of his hold. Though he was not a member of the movement, wherever Gāndhī went, Nehrū kept going right along with him. Gāndhī went on recognising forbearance of this kind. What was the reason for removing him from this movement? Right here they went on recognising the individual nature, in character. And through that he removed Nehrū from this movement. But as it grows and grows, it becomes possible to understand well the natures of people who live closely together. When Gāndhī found out Nehrū's nature, Nehrū too went on finding out Gāndhī's nature. Through that, recognising the weaknesses of the two of them, they came to be joined to each other all the more. What is the reason? Once weaknesses come out in a man's nature of character, from then on his honour and respect slip away little by little. That is why, as soon as self-rule came, Gāndhī made Nehrū Prime Minister. What was the very first thing this Nehrū did? He consulted the Russians and began the Five-Year Plan. These plans began with the Russians themselves. In this way, having won self-rule, just through following the counsels of foreign rulers its strength went on lessening little by little. Nehrū had a great liking for the common life. Just by taking a liking to this kind of social life, he gradually began what is called a secular state. That is, India is in harmony with the people of every religion. No religion should revile another. They fostered the feeling that one must not criticise. This is good, to be sure. The reason I am saying this is that in the craft of politics many crooked schemes too, some of them, keep growing up. When such crooked schemes are absent, the very ruling of a kingdom becomes very hard.
