NON VIOLENCE AND UNIVERSAL LAW

Nonviolence to be a creed has to be all-pervasive. I cannot be nonviolent about one activity of mine and violent about others.
It is a blasphemy to say that nonviolence can only be practised by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals.
In my opinion nonviolence is not passivity in any shape or form. Nonviolence, as I understand it, is the most active force in the world...Nonviolence is the supreme law. During my half a century of experience, I have not yet come across a situation when I had to say that I was helpless, that I had no remedy in terms of nonviolence.
