Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punish

Summary

This quote highlights the two different sources of power: fear of punishment and acts of love. The first kind of power is acquired through instilling fear in others, relying on the threat of consequences. However, power derived from love, which is built upon compassion, trust, and understanding, is far more impactful and long-lasting. Love-based power has the ability to create stronger and enduring connections, leading to more effective and sustainable outcomes compared to power driven by fear.
