At the root of every Conflict is deception. The only permanent solution to a conflict is truth. Subsecequently, to resolve conflicts, he conceived of a novel technique which he called Satyagraha. Literally it meant Satya (Truth) with Agraha (Firmness) or, unwavering search for the Truth. And since the only way of getting to Truth was by non-violence (or love), it follows that Satyagraha implied an unwavering search for the Truth using Non-violence. In this context Gandhi further said that-

"Truth is God; Non-violence is Love in Action; and Peace, the result of enduring conflict resolution, is the Fruit of Satyagraha."
