Gandhi on: Ends and Means Faith Freedom Government Nonviolent Action & Civil Disobedience Nonviolent Army Nonviolent Economics Nonviolent Police Satyagraha The Soul Truth Women M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence

Gandhi on satyagraha Satyagraha is a relentless search for truth and a determination to search truth. Satyagraha is an attribute of the spirit within. Satyagraha has been designed as an effective substitute for violence. Satyagraha is a process of educating public opinion, such that it covers all the elements of the society and makes itself irresistible. The fight of Satyagraha is for the strong in spirit, not the doubter or the timid. Satyagraha teaches us the art of living as well as dying. Satyagraha, of which civil-resistance is but a part, is to me the universal law of life. Satyagraha can rid society of all evils, political, economic, and moral. A genuine Satyagraha should never excite contempt in the opponent even when it fails to command regard or respect. Satyagraha thrives on repression till at last the repressor is tired and the object of Satyagraha is gained. Satyagraha does not depend on the outside [for] help; it derives all its strength from within. The method of Satyagraha requires that the Satyagrahi should never lose hope, so long as there is the slightest ground left for it. In the dictionary of Satyagraha, there is no enemy. Since Satyagraha is a method of conversion and conviction, it seeks never to use the slightest coercion. For a Satyagraha brigade, only those are eligible who believe in ahimsa--nonviolence and satya--truth. A Satyagrahi has infinite patience, abundant faith in others, and ample hope. A Satyagrahi cannot go to law for a personal wrong. In the code of the Satyagrahi, there is no such thing as surrender to brute force.

Love your enemies. Bless those who curse you.
