“Ahimsa - Non-violence is not a sufficiently correct translation of ahimsa, which is a culturally-ischolar_mained concept. … Ahimsa is the essence of man’s natural life. Ahimsa does not merely mean non-killing, non-aggression or nonviolence… it embodies the highest form of human activity. When natural life is informed by ahimsa, men and women are inspired and equipped for self-transcendence. This is the mode of recreating life incessantly in accordance with truth. In the ultimate analysis, ahimsa bridges the gap between the extension and intension of truth. It is, thus, the ideal of human activity. …Genuine human activity demands that we transcend our theories the moment we construct them. … We ought to learn to confront reality directly, as Gandhi did, unmediated by theoretical contraptions or constructs.“
