The more you develop it in your own being, the more infectious it becomes till it over-whelms your surroundings and by and by might oversweep the world. I have known from early youth that non-violence is not a cloistered virtue to be practised by the individual for his peace and final salvation, but it is a rule of conduct for society if it is to live consistently with human dignity and make progress towards the attainment of peace for which it has been yearning for ages past. To practice non-violence in mundane matters is to know its true value. It is to bring heaven upon earth. There is no such thing as the other world.

There is no 'here' and no 'there'. As Jeans has demonstrated, the whole universe including the most distant stars, invisible even through the most powerful telescope in the world, is compressed in an atom.

Some even doubt the possibility of the exercise of non-violence by groups, much less by masses of people.
