soul forcen.

Brit.

/ˈsəʊl fɔːs/, U.S.

/ˈsoʊl ˌfɔrs/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: soul n., force n.¹

Etymology: < soul n. + force n.¹ In sense 2 after modern Sanskrit ātmabala (apparently coined by M. K. Gandhi 1909, in a Gujarati context in the source translated in quot. 1910) < ātman soul, principle of life (see atman n.) + bala strength, force (ultimately < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin dēbilis weak).In sense 2, soul-force is also often used by Gandhi as an English equivalent to modern Sanskrit satyāgraha , lit. ‘truth-persistence’ (1908 in a Gujarati context, or earlier: see satyagraha n.), sometimes contrasted with brute force . Gandhi also occasionally used the more literal English translation truth-force (compare quot. 1914 at sense 2). Gandhi attributes the term to L. Tolstoy (compare quot. 1914), but a corresponding Russian compound has not been traced either in Tolstoy's major religious works or in his correspondence with Gandhi. Compare, however, Russian sila istiny, lit. ‘power of truth’, duxovnaja sila, lit. ‘spiritual force’, and similar established phrases also used by Tolstoy, e.g. in the passages translated here:1894 C. Garnett tr. L. Tolstoy Kingdom of God 236 The Use of Violence Leads Men to Distrust the Spiritual Force which is the only Only Force by which they Advance.1896 J. C. Kenworthy tr. L. Tolstoy Patriotism & Christianity 53 All this apparently terrible organisation of brute force is as nothing compared to the conciousness [sic] of truth, which surges in the soul of one man who knows the power of truth.

1. Spiritual energy; a vital force conceived of as constituting, residing in, or emanating from the soul.

2005 D. A. Durham Pride of Carthage (2006) 332 These blood wounds must have drained his soul force terribly, but to her eyes none seemed fatal.

2. Spiritual rather than physical force; passive resistance; = satyagraha n. Also: an instance of this.
