Non-violence recognizes neither east nor west - it's for the whole world to adopt. The people of the world must unite and establish peace in the world and make it a livable place. We must strive for progress and spiritual development, and that too through nonviolent means. It is not a synonym for cowardice or timidity. It's a powerful force that can fight against even terrorism. The opponent be reformed and the trace of violence from the heart removed. This alone can usher in peace in the world. It is not a negative force. It is positive and its foundation is based on universal love and brotherhood. It is a solid force; and unites one soul with another. From Mahavir to Gandhi to Martin Luther King, non-violence has continued to hold beacon light. Let us make twenty-first century a non-violent one and save the world from war, bloodshed and terrorism. The panacea lies in non-violence alone.
