... the villages and delay action till the looting and outrage have been accomplished; to look on inactive in the face of a surging Mahomedan tumult and be on the alert when there is a rumour of Hindu retaliation;—all this is not incompetence, but connivance. We could have understood it, if the authorities had been equally supine and helpless in dealing with Hindus as with Mahomedans, but this is not the ...
... Committee is a romantic delusion. The facts are entirely inconsistent with it. What we see is that, where there is sporadic repression of a severe kind on the part of the authorities, there is sporadic retaliation on the part of a few youthful conspirators, perfectly random in its aim and objective. The Nasik murder is an act of terrorist reprisal for the dangerously severe sentence passed on the revolutionary ...
... first leave the darkness before hoping to realize genuine harmony? It is thus not through non-violence that we shall resolve the problem of our innate violence. For non-violence is a form of retaliation, a more subtle form of violence: it attempts to obtain through moral force what is generally achieved by the exertion of physical force. It covers the adversary with contempt by showing him that ...
... Jews. There is no doubt that Hitler did not have to push much to make a National Socialist kick a Jew, and harassing those “other” people was a lot of fun for a member of the Hitler Youth, as retaliation was out of the question. National Socialism wanted to discard the Jews from German society. Hitler wanted to eradicate them physically, sooner or later, from the body of humanity. Did a National ...

... contrast between the two kinds of soil, utilised & unutilised. The premature attempts at conquest began with aggressions on the nearest barbarian villages & the raid seen was the first effective retaliation carried out in the absence of the fighting men of the colony, so that on the side of the attacked only women, children & peaceful unarmed men are seen fleeing to a habitual & secret place of refuge ...
... animals are better than human beings—but if people here also do the same, they would be playing in the hands of the forces that make people do evil and would only strengthen the hold of these forces. Retaliation like this is no remedy. (B.) People there feel frustrated, they see no remedy, do not know which way to go, whom to look up to. They are going the wrong way, following the wrong lead. Isn't the ...
... of it, the suggestions it gives and so on. It comes with such power that I am compelled to see it—I see. So there is only ONE solution (so far): the absolute stillness of the supreme Force—but no retaliation, simply like this ( inflexible, still gesture ). Then, after a time, it exhausts itself and falls away. But one must hold out, and few people are able to hold out—it's hard. It's hard—it's nasty ...
... to be more successful. PURANI: Champaklal was showing different poses of standing. The British have started arresting the Japanese. SRI AUROBINDO (laughing): Yes, and they say it is not retaliation. Extraordinary coincidences, I suppose. PURANI: Yes, many such coincidences are possible in this world. SATYENDRA: This is better than wordy warfare. PURANI: The Bengal Government is taking ...

One day in the morning they discovered Rin lying dead outside ...

... resistance leaders to meet him. They went. They saw a feeble man lying in his bed. Their soft hearts melted at the sight. It was then very easy for Gandhiji to extract a promise from them to stop retaliation. For, said he, he had resolved to withdraw his 'indefinite' fast only when people, 'Muslims and Hindus,' could move about freely in the streets of Calcutta. Instead of telling everybody "You ...

... Rawalpindi. The unprovoked blow given by a Gurkha to Srijut Satis Chandra Chatterji was obviously a prearranged affair, leaving the victim the choice between swallowing the insult and an act of retaliation which might have led to an émeute . Page 463 We think that Srijut Satis Chandra on the whole did well to subordinate his feelings to the good of his country, but the odds were the other ...
... country, in the making of its laws. And India impoverished, degraded, demoralized, did not look with love upon the spoiler. Now the Boycott has commenced upon the other side, but it is not an act of retaliation merely; it is much more an unravelling of the English web, a retracing of the steps towards perdition which we were forced or induced to take.

... busy fomenting with perfect impunity. There is no other explanation of the facts. The thing has happened and we wish to say at once that nothing in our remarks must be held to mean that we advise retaliation.

... my guru and so unless there was a genuine repentance I could not offer my hand of “forgiveness “. I have, personally, never nursed anger against her: it is not with me a question of anger or retaliation. I pray for Maya still that she may repent and turn to you.

The freedom from such a temperament has helped my attempt as a sadhak to move towards an equanimity which would have no personal reaction, no twinge of resentment, no impulse of retaliation, no shadow of frustration.

This is its basis. 3 March 1965 ...
... by prohibiting not only killing but anger as well, not only adultery but also lust); he forbids altogether what the Law allows (no divorce, no oath); and he turns from the Law to its opposite (no retaliation (Deut.l9:21), but rather generosity to offenders; not hating enemies (Deut.7:2) but loving them).

... spoke openly in favour of alliance with the British in Calcutta. SRI AUROBINDO: It seems to be a mystery. The Indian Government is refusing telegrams from the French it seems.

He says that non-violence has been in progress and that De Gaulle has now ...
... Bazarovs of this world are at bay - and he begins to wonder whether at the very heart of his philosophy and action there isn't a darkness, an inbuilt futility.

The violence of desperation may have a logic and grandeur of its own, but in the final analysis it is rather foolish and futile. When Mirra asked ...
... comments. The "New Thought" was summed up, first negatively by Satish Mukherjee: It is not the offspring of a spirit of revenge; it is not the advocating of mere measures of coercion and retaliation; it is not a mere suggestion of despair.

... bound up with the life itself and the persistent violation of them, if it does not destroy the oppressed organism, provokes necessarily the bitterest revolt and ends in one of Nature's inexorable retaliations.

... that no section of the Hindu community would indulge in reprisals for acts of injustice and brutality committed against Hindus in Pakistan is simply to be ignorant of human nature: the way to avoid retaliations is not merely to preach Gandhism to the masses or to punish those who take the law into their own hands but to add to all genuinely preventive or deterrent measures an attempt to stop the occasions ...
