Gandhi, who else can it be

Gandhi dedicated his life to the wider purpose of discovering truth, or Satya.
He tried to achieve this by learning from his own mistakes and conducting experiments on himself. His autobiography is "The Story of My Experiments with Truth"

Gandhi stated that the most important battle to fight was overcoming his own demons, fears, and insecurities.
Gandhi summarized his beliefs first when he said "God is Truth".
He would later change this statement to "Truth is God".

He also followed and preached the road of nonviolence

The concept of nonviolence (ahimsa) and nonresistance has a long history in Indian religious thought.
He was quoted as saying:

1-"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always."

2-"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?"

3-"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

4-"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for."
