Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 " Gandhi guarded against attracting to his satyagraha movement those who feared to take up arms or felt themselves incapable of resistance. 'I do believe,' he wrote, 'that where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.' " [18] " At every meeting I repeated the warning that unless they felt that in non-violence they had come into possession of a force infinitely superior to the one they had and in the use of which they were adept, they should have nothing to do with non-violence and resume the arms they possessed before. It must never be said of the Khudai Khidmatgars that once so brave, they had become or been made cowards under Badshah Khan's influence. Their bravery consisted not in being good marksmen but in defying death and being ever ready to bare their breasts to the bullets.

" Think " ? " you " ? " 'nonduality' " ? " Sky " ? All of these as the opposite of, and the same as, what you yourself mean by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
