Satyagrahi Extraordinaire
SATYAGRAHA as explained by Gandhi:
"Its root meaning is holding onto truth, hence truth-force. I have also called it love-force or soul-force. In the application of satyagraha, I discovered in the earliest stages that pursuit of truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one’s opponent but that he must be weaned from error by patience and compassion. For what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent, but on oneself."
He assumed a role that put his life on the line. By doing so he achieved near-miracles during his lifetime and will continue to do so long after. God bless him!
