| | FOR- nonviolence |
 | | Nonviolence, the power of the powerless, Gandhi believed, is the power of God, the power of truth and love that goes beyond the physical world into the realm of the spiritual. | | | For Gandhi, "nonviolence is a matter of the heart." From his inner unity, through years of discipline and renunciation, Gandhi found the ability to suffer for justice's sake, to refuse to harm others, to go to prison for peace. | | | This power can overcome death, as God revealed through the nonviolence of Jesus, his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection in the resisting community. |

| | NONVIOLENCE AND ITS MANY FACETS |
| | Not until people become fearless can nonviolence be firmly established, and fearlessness is possible only when people learn to free themselves from the delusion of attachment. | | | Preksha Meditation enjoins its practitioners to perceive the soul by the soul, which also means that the tendency to look at the utilitarian style of living must be eschewed and the ability to look at the spiritual style must be cultivated. | | | Thus we must distinguish between what we have called practical nonviolence and true spiritual nonviolence, since the former is based on selfishness. |

| | Practicing Nonviolence |
| | Gandhi's vision of nonviolence is translated as "clinging to truth" or sometimes "truth force", which includes both determination to speak out even when one's truth is unpopular, and willingness to hear the truth of other people's experience. | | | He also defined two other components of nonviolence: the refusal to harm others and willingness to suffer for one's beliefs. | | | Nonviolence then becomes resourcefulness -- seeing the possibilities for change in oneself and in others, and having the power to act on those possibilities. |
