Martin Luther King has asserted — "What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive and love without power is sentimental and anaemic."36 The love implementing the demands of justice is the best position of power and similarly removal of all things coming against love is the best position of justice, Therefore love and power cannot stand against each other,
A Man Without Love : Martin Luther King having strong faith in God and godly principles presented in the Holy Bible, has accepted that one can do nothing without love, A man may have good language, power of influencial speech, all sorts of knowledge, but without love these all are useless. Even charity and death of a martyr can have no meaning in the absence of love. So one should love other persons after feeling that all are parts of one another, He should love even his enemies,
Forgiveness : Ignoring or putting a false level on the evil does not present forgiveness. In true sense forgiveness creates a healthy atmosphere for a new beginning. "Forgiveness means reconciliation, a coming together again. Without this no man can love his enemies.37
In this way Martin Luther King has applied the principle of non-violence in all spheres of human life. Theory of Non-violence
Now after going through various views of eminent scholars and deep thinkers, I am in a position to say that theory of non-violence is a cohesion of the following doctrines --
(i) Doctrine of entirety or Wholeness ( Sampūrņatā), (ii) Doctrine of Equality ( Samatva ), (iii) Doctine of Oneness or Non-dual (Ekatva or Advaita), (iv) Doctrine of Universality ( Sārviktā), (v) Doctrine of Restraint ( Samyama ).
