Nonviolence is active love

1
00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.420
I would define nonviolence then
as act of love

2
00:00:03.445 --> 00:00:06.073
that pursues the truth
of our common unity

3
00:00:06.098 --> 00:00:08.417
that we're all one, already reconciled.

4
00:00:08.442 --> 00:00:12.126
Every human being on the planet
is your very sister and brother.

5
00:00:12.151 --> 00:00:15.543
And so we're persistently
reconciling with everyone,

6
00:00:15.568 --> 00:00:18.744
and rooting out the violence
within each one of us

7
00:00:18.769 --> 00:00:22.550
and standing up publicly to stop
and resist and transform

8
00:00:22.575 --> 00:00:25.362
all these structures
and institutions of violence

9
00:00:25.387 --> 00:00:28.281
practicing what I call

10
00:00:28.281 --> 00:00:33.285
unconditional universal non retaliatory
sacrificial love

11
00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:36.540
for all human beings and all
creatures in the whole creation.

12
00:00:36.565 --> 00:00:40.376
It's so beautiful.
But there's one catch with nonviolence,

13
00:00:40.401 --> 00:00:42.287
and that's what the word helps.

14
00:00:42.445 --> 00:00:43.631
And that is,

15
00:00:43.656 --> 00:00:47.735
there is no cause however noble
for which we will ever again support

16
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:50.016
the taking of a single human life.

17
00:00:50.041 --> 00:00:54.539
We do not kill people
for a just cause or any reason.

18
00:00:54.706 --> 00:00:56.460
We don't kill people who kill people

19
00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:58.349
to show that you
shouldn't kill people.

20
00:00:58.379 --> 00:00:59.928
The days of killing are over.
