30. 27. The reformer must know that what moves people is the authentic life, not mere
writing. The newspaper and journals that Tilak and other reformers ran the books
they wrote, sold little, but had an enormous effect. Their writing was known to
reflect and be just an extension of, their exemplary lives. It was the authenticity of
their lives which lent weight to their message, to their example. All knew that their
lives were an integral whole - they were not moral in public life and lacking in
private, not vice versa. They were not full of pious thoughts and sacred resolutions
within the walls of a temple. A writer who is merely entertaining his readers, even
one who is merely informing them, can do what he wants with the rest of his life.
But the writer, who sets out to use his pen to reform public life, cannot afford such
dualities. Here is the testimony of one great man - about the influence of another,
Lokmanya Tilak. “I believe that an editor who has anything worth saying and who
commands a clientele cannot easily be hushed. He delivered his finished message
as soon as he is put under duress. Tilak spoke more eloquently from the Mandalay
fortress than through columns of the printed Kesari. His influence was multiplied a
thousand fold by his imprisonment and his speech and his pen had acquired much
greater power after he was discharged than before his imprisonment. By his death
we have been editing his paper without pen and speech through the sacred
resolution of the people to realize his life’s dream. He could possibly have done
more if he were today in flesh preaching his view. Critics like me would perhaps be
still finding fault in the expression of this or that. Today, his message rules millions
of hearts which are determined to raise permanent a living memorial by the
fulfilment of his ambition in their lives”.
