I will not go underground. I will not go into shelter. I will come out in the open and let the pilot see I have not a trace of ill will against him.… The longing in our hearts – that he will not come to harm – would reach up to him and his eyes would be opened. If those thousands who were done to death in Hiroshima, if they had died with that prayerful action. . .their sacrifice would not have gone in vain.

Thus, the lynching ultimately proved to be a blessing for me, that is, for the cause. It enhanced the prestige of the Indian community in South Africa, made my work easier, and the experience prepared me for the practice of satyagraha.
