Prayer used by Mohandas Gandhi

a prayer/poem that Gandhi is said to have often recited to himself:

Let hundreds like me perish, but let Truth prevail.
Let us not reduce the standards of Truth
even by a hair's breadth
for judging erring mortals like myself.

In judging myself I shall try to be as harsh as truth,
as I want others also to be.
Measuring myself by that standard I must exclaim with Surdas*:

" Where is there a wretch
So wicked and loathsome as I?
I have forsaken my Maker,
So faithless have I been.

~ attributed to Mohandas K. Gandhi

*Surdas - a 14th century Indian poet/ Saint /mystic/ Holy man
