More From Mahatma Gandhi

Ahimsa is not mere negative non-injury. it is positive, cosmic love. it is the development of a mental attitude in which hatred is replaced by love. ahimsa is true sacrifice. ahimsa is forgiveness. ahimsa is sakti (power). ahimsa is true strength.
Attitude Sacrifice Hatred
Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.
Courage Hate Spring
All that syrio forel had taught her went racing through her head. swift as a deer. quiet as shadow. fear cuts deeper than swords. quick as a snake. calm as still water. fear cuts deeper than swords. strong as a bear. fierce as a wolverine. fear cuts deeper than swords. then man who fears losing has already lost. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords. fear cuts deeper than swords.

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. but in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. i am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.
Humble Past Evil
In an atmosphere of ahimsa, one has no scope to put his ahimsa to the test. it can be tested only in the face of himsa.

What can i say? i hate bush; i despise him and his entire administration, everything he represents and everything he has tried to do, not only internationally, which is horrific, but domestically as well. in my country the atmosphere is poisoned. unbreathable for those of us who are not on the right. so thank you for inviting me to this festival and allowing me to leave there for a few days.
