The greater force?


I will be truthful.

I will suffer no injustice.

I will be free from fear.

I will not use force.

I will be of good will to all men.

~Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi may not have relied upon the “force” of guns and violence, but he did rely upon the force of divine Love and Principle—and history proved them to be much more effective.

Has he set an example our world can learn from today?

The history of our country, like all history, illustrates the might of Mind, and shows human power to be proportionate to its embodiment of right thinking. A few immortal sentences, breathing the omnipotence of divine justice, have been potent to break despotic fetters and abolish the whipping-post and slave market; but oppression neither went down in blood, nor did the breath of freedom come from the cannon's mouth. Love is the liberator.” Mary Baker Eddy
