What Gandhiji meant about Satyagraha being active resistance was that it requires a lot of soul-force activity. It involves very great sacrifices to be made, which can be done only by strong-willed persons. It requires resistance to oppression without using any force. It emphasizes the power of truth and the need to search for it. If the cause is true, physical force is not necessary to fight the oppressor. The Satyagrahi could win the battle against the oppressor by appealing to his conscience, by persuading him to see the truth

By active resistance gandhiji ment 'War without voilence'
Satya is the Sanskrit word for “truth”; agraha means "great enthusiasm and interest"[1]. The two words combined may be rendered as "the firmness of truth.” The term was popularized during the Indian Independence Movement, and is used in many Indianlanguages including Hindi. It can also mean "the force of truth
."Gandhi described it as follows
:Its root meaning is holding onto truth, hence truth-force. I have also called it love-force or soul-force. In the application of satyagraha, I discoveredin the earliest stages that pursuit of truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one’s opponent but that hemust be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent, but on oneself.
