Why did Mahatama Gandhi mean when he said satayagraha is active resistance |
|
Answer» Satyagraha means on the path of truth. Satyagraha is not physical force. A satyagrahi does not inflict any pain or adversary, in the use of satyagraha there is no ill will. According to Gandhi, active resistance means "War without violence."In Sanskrit, Satya means "truth" while agraha means "great interest or enthusiasm."Satyaagraha therefore means the firmness of truth. When people are knowledgeable or know the truth, they will fight their opponents without being violent. Knowledge is a truth-force (love-force or soul-force) that you can use against your opponent. |
