Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to
village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During
one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa.
After his speech a poor old woman got up. She was bent
with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in
tatters. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she
fought her way to the place where Gandhiji was
sitting. "I must see him," she insisted and going up
to Gandhiji touched his feet. Then from the folds of
her sari she brought out a copper coin and placed it
at his feet. Gandhiji picked up the copper coin and
put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were
under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Gandhiji
for the coin but Gandhiji refused. "I keep cheques
worth thousands of rupees for the Charkha Sangh,"
Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly "yet you won't trust me
with a copper coin." "This copper coin is worth much
more than those thousands," Gandhiji said. "If a man
has several lakhs and he gives away a thousand or two,
it doesn't mean much. But this coin was perhaps all
that the poor woman possessed. She gave me all she
had. That was very generous of her. What a great
sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper
coin more than a crore of rupees."
