In our battles, we typically focus on our objective goals. For example, Gandhi wanted to free India from British rule.

But it is easier to win a battle if you have won the heart of your opponent. And once the battle is over, you want to be friends with your opponent, not enemies. Gandhi wanted to win the hearts and minds of the British people.

Most battles have spectators. Sometimes they join in. But even when they do not, their opinion matters. You want the spectators sympathetic to your cause. When Martin Luther King fought the city of Montgomery, his most important objective was winning the hearts and minds of America.

And your own heart matters. Do you keep fighting? Do you feel good about yourself when the battle is over?

If you don't care about hearts -- you are going to kill your enemy, there are no spectators, and you do not care about your own soul -- then you do not need satyagraha. Obviously, hearts always matter. Satyagraha can be defined as the method of fighting most likely to win hearts.
