Ahinsa – (Non-violence)
It is not enough to avoid injuring another physically. One
should avoid violence in one’s thoughts and words also. Thinking negatively of
our own selves is also Himsa(violence)many of us feel that we are no good or so attractive enough, or
that we can’t express ourselves properly and so on.
“If I tell a lie, cause
another to tell one or approve of another doing so, this equally sinful.
If It is a very mild lie, still it is a lie, Every vicious thought
will rebound, every thoughts of hatred which you may have thought, in a cave
even, is stored up, and will one day come back to you with tremendous power in
the form of some misery here. If you project hatred and jealousy they will
rebound on you with compound interest. No power can avert them, when once
you have put them in motion, you with have to bear them, Remembering this will
present you from doing wicked things” (Shri
Swami Vivekananda, modern philosopher 19th Century, his thought based on Raj-Yoga)
"Ahimsa pratisthayam tatsannidhau
vairtyagah I

violence have no fear of enemy.
It is important to be
aware of our thought, words and action.by practicing Ahinsa gives us teaching
of universal values like LOVE, JUSTICE, INTEGRITY, NON AGGRESSION, COMPASSION,
HARMONY AND SO ON.
