What is Nirvana, as described by Ghandi

Nirvana is not the utter extinction of death:

Nirvana is the utter extinction of all that is base in us, all that is vicious in us. Nirvana is not like the black dead peace of the grave, but living peace, the living happiness of a soul which is conscious itself and conscious of having its own abode in the heart of the eternal, Ghandi said.
