I read a short biography of Gandhiji written by a foreigner.
As per this book, in his Wardha Ashram, there was a signboard made of cloth on which truth and non violence were defined.
About non violence, physical non violence is one thing. The words and our behaviour to others should also contain non violence.
And here comes the acid test. In our mind also we should not hurt anyone with our thoughts.
It means, we have to watch our thoughts also.
Same is about Truth. Even in our mind we should not tell lies or to think falsehood.
This is the true non violence and practice of Truth.
This is what Gandhiji tried to practice.
It is a spiritual journey to practice this form of non violence.
This has nothing to do with politics. This is for self purification.
This is a one man journey.
