"Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love"

“War is the spectacular and bloody projection of our everyday life, is it not? War is merely an outward expression of our inward state, an enlargement of our daily action. It is more spectacular, more bloody, more destructive, but it is the collective result of our individual activities.”
"Hitler and Mussolini were only the primary spokesmen for the attitude of domination of craving for power that are in the heart of almost everyone. Until the source is cleared, there will always be confusion and hate, wars and class antagonisms.”

What is real peace? What we need is tenderness in the face of brutality. The main thing is not to take a side just because we happen to be on that side. It doesn’t matter who is right. Peace is more than putting an end to war. Profound Peace means living in a way that the other person is as important as you. It means putting an end to war in ourselves.
“You may not offend anybody; you may not harbor an uncharitable thought, even in connection with one who may consider himself to be your enemy…The objective of satyagraha is to win the victory over the conflict situation.”
Mohandas Ganhdi
