Gandhi points to something counterintuitive: the body can be conditioned and trained by anyone with time and discipline, but the will—that stubborn refusal to bend when circumstances demand it—belongs only to those who've chosen their values over comfort. Notice he doesn't say strength *ignores* the body; he relocates where real power lives. When a parent works three jobs to keep their child in school, or a whistleblower sacrifices their career for truth, we witness this distinction made flesh—their bodies might be exhausted, but something immovable in them remains intact. This reframes struggle itself: the question isn't whether you're strong enough, but whether you've decided firmly enough.
