Nonviolence of the strong cannot be a mere policy. It must be a creed, or a passion, if 'creed' is objected to.
There is nothing surprising in a Muslim or a Pathan like me subscribing to the creed of nonviolence. It is not a new creed. It was followed fourteen hundred years ago by the Prophet all the time he was in Mecca.
Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed.
Veganism is about nonviolence:
nonviolence to other sentient beings;
nonviolence to yourself;
nonviolence to the earth.
My creed of nonviolence is an extremely active force.
Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.
My creed of nonviolence does not favour the punishment of thieves and dacoits and even murderers.
For me nonviolence is a creed. I must act up to it, whether I am alone or have companions.
Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.
Every creed is a rock in running water: humanity sweeps by it. Every creed cries to the universe, "Halt!" A creed is the ignorant Past bulling the enlightened Present.
While I am opposed to all orthodox creeds, I have a creed myself; and my creed is this. Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so. This creed is somewhat short, but it is long enough for this life, strong enough for this world. If there is another world, when we get there we can make another creed.
It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.
The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.
Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together. True nonviolence is an impossibility without the possession of unadulterated fearlessness.
Martin Luther King taught us all nonviolence. I was told to extend nonviolence to the mother and her calf.
Whilst I may not actually help anyone to retaliate, I must not let a coward seek shelter behind nonviolence so-called. Not knowing the stuff of which nonviolence is made, many have honestly believed that running away from danger every time was a virtue compared to offering resistance, especially when it was fraught with danger to one's life. As a teacher of nonviolence I must, so far as it is possible for me, guard against such an unmanly belief.
