Disinterest in worldly possessions, practice of
Brahmacharya, fight against ‘black acts’ by
passive resistance, eschewing violence as a tool for resistance,

What followed was a remarkable period of continuous struggles for the cause of the Indians in South Africa, negotiations, passive resistance against the rude and unyielding colonial rulers, prosecutions, and imprisonments several times, transferred from jail to jail.... the Gandhi of the later days was born and baptized.
He corresponded with Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian writer on his
Satyagraha Movement (1910). Leo Tolstoy wrote to Gandhi that the question of Satyagraha (Passive Resistance for Tolstoy) was of the greatest importance for the whole humanity.
