My Swaraj Will Be Not

In The Midst Of Death Life Persists.

Ahimsa Must Be Placed Before Everything Else While It Is Professed. Then Alone It Becomes Irresistible.

My Religion Is Based On Truth And Non-violence. Truth Is My God. Non-violence Is The Means Of Realising Him.

Non-violent Resistance Implies The Very Opposite Of Weakness. Defiance Combined With Non-retaliatory Acceptance Of Repression From One's Opponents Is Active, Not Passive. It Requires Strength, And There Is Nothing Automatic Or Intuitive About The Resoluteness Required For Using Non-violent Methods In Political Struggle And The Quest For Truth.

Disorder And Violence Are, In Fact, Things That Might Check The Pace Of India's Progress.
