निशस्त्रीकरण का मंत्र--अहिसा

Vol. 49 · No. 04April - 2001pp. 36-37Hindi

Summary

The text discusses the challenges of disarmament and the persistence of violence, arguing that weapons cannot be eliminated as long as violence exists within individuals. It emphasizes that true disarmament begins with inner non-violence (ahimsa), citing the Jain principle that all beings seek happiness and avoid suffering. The author contrasts violence and non-violence, describing violence as arising from fear, anger, and weakness, while non-violence is natural, stable, and rooted in love and forgiveness. Non-violence is presented as the foundation for family, society, and national unity, and as the only solution to global problems. The text notes that despite India's historical legacy of non-violence through figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Mahavira, violence is increasing, with new weapons and suicide squads threatening humanity. It highlights the failure of international efforts like the CTBT due to mutual distrust. The author stresses the urgent need to organize non-violent forces to counter the rise of terrorism, corruption, and exploitation. Acharya Mahapragya's "Ahimsa Samvay" initiative and the Anuvrat movement are cited as efforts to cultivate non-violence and transform individuals. The text concludes that only through the collective organization of non-violent forces can global peace be achieved, allowing harmony and prosperity to prevail.

Conclusion

The document underscores that disarmament efforts like the CTBT have failed due to mutual distrust and fear, which perpetuate violence. It argues that true peace requires addressing inner violence, as weapons are merely external manifestations of internal aggression. The text emphasizes that nonviolence (ahimsa) is the only sustainable solution for individual, national, and global conflicts, citing Gandhi's successful political application. However, it warns that humanity faces existential threats from escalating violence, terrorism, and weapons development. The conclusion calls for urgent organization of nonviolent forces through training and platforms like Acharya Mahapragya's Ahimsa Samvay, asserting that only collective nonviolent action can counter rising violence and achieve world peace. Without this, the dream of global harmony will remain unfulfilled.
