Truth Force "As a Jain muni once rightly said I was not so much a votary of ahimsa as I was of truth, and I put the latter in the first place and the former in the second. For, as he put it, I was capable of sacrificing nonviolence for the sake of Truth. In fact it was in the course of my pursuit of truth that I discovered nonviolence." M.K. "Mahatma" Gandhi
"Satyagraha is a relentless search for truth and a determination to search truth." M.K. "Mahatma" Gandhi Truth Force - satyagraha - was the central philosophy guiding Mahatma Gandhi's use of nonviolent civil disobedience in the struggles he led against injustice. For Gandhi, satyagraha was the use of Soul Force or Love Force against the Brute Force of violence - speaking truth to power, not with anger, but from - and to - the heart. When you notice any injustice today, reflect on how you might speak clearly and powerfully against the injustice - without anger towards whoever is responsible for the injustice.
