Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, ahimsa means non-violence. But to Gandhi, “it has much higher, infinitely higher meaning. It means that you may not offend anybody; you may not harbour uncharitable thought, even in connection with those who consider your enemies. To one who follows this doctrine, there are no enemies.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to this philosophy, satyagrahis-practitioners of satyagraha-achieve correct insight into the real nature of an evil situation by observing a nonviolence of the mind, by seeking truth in a spirit of peace and love, and by undergoing a rigorous process of self-scrutiny.
