A satyagrahi is a follower of truth and non-violence. The true practice of these two principles requires purity of mind and body which can be achieved through the observance of the following vows:
Qualities
1. Brahmcharya:
In common parlance, Brahmcharya means sex restraint. In its derivate sense Brahmcharya means the realizations of Brahm, that is God. Brahmcharya according to Gandhiji is complete self- control in all directions. A Brahmchari is one who posesses full control over all his senses in thought, word and action.
Brahmcharya is a spiritual virtue. The vow demands capacity to keep pure even amidst all sorts of temptation rather than simply restraining from sex. A true,Brahmchari is one who keeps control over his actions and thoughts even when he has all temptations around him. According to him, it is not the woman whose touch defiles a man but it is the man who might become impure.
A Satyagrahi observing Brahmcharya does nothate women. He sublimates his sexual energies and rises above the consciousness of sex. All women are like mothers, sisters and daughters to him. Gandhiji was, however, not against marriage. Brahmcharya is possible even after marriage.
In this case, the true Brahmchari would indulge in sex purely for the purpose of procreation and not for mere satisfaction of flesh. A child born of righteousness in Dharmja whereas a child born out of lust is Kamja.
2 Control over the Palate:
This is the second vow which a Satyagrahi should take and observe. This means that one should eat to live and not live to eat. One should have simple food which should enable a person to keep body and soul together. One should not eat to please the palate but to keep the body in physical fitness.
3. Development of Fearlessness:
A true Satyagrahi is one who practises fearlessness. Fear is at the root of untruth and violence, cowardice is born out of fear. Truth and non-violence can only be achieved by the brave and the strong.
Main object of Gandhiji had been to infuse into his countrymen the qualities of fearlessness and self-confidence. There is lot of justification in the remarks of Viscount Samuel, "Gandhiji taught the Indians to strengthen their backs, to raise their eyes and to face circumstances with steady gaze.
'Let us fear God and we shall cease to fear man. All the fears revolve round the body as the centre and would therefore, disappear as soon as one gets rid of attachment of the body a nation is great which sets its head upon the death as its pillow. Those who defy death are free from all fears." said Gandhiji.
4. Satya:
Satya is another vow which a true satyagrahi must take and practise. Pursuit of truth is the basic requirement of a Satyagrahi.
5. Non-stealing:
Another important vow which a satyagrahi must take is about non-stealing. Stealing or thieving according to Gandhiji is not merely taking away what belongs to somebody else but it also implies not to accept anything beyond one's needs, improper collection of wealth and multiplication of one's wants.
According to him acquisition of any thing beyond one's need is a theft. Gandhiji believed in the economy of need and was not in favour of acquisition which is characteristic of capitalism.
