“Satyagraha… is a method of securing rights by personal suffering; it is the reverse of resistance by arms. When I refuse to da a thing that is repugnant to my conscience I use Satyagraha… If by using violence I force the Government to repeal a law, I am employing what may be termed as body-force. If I do not obey the law and accept the penalty for its breach, I use soul force. It involves a sacrifice of self.”
