Why Do We Practice Ahimsa?

“Ahimsa is called the mahavrata, the great vow.” Not harming others, is three-fold: thought, word and deed. Because you see God in everyone you would not want to hurt anyone. And there is the law of karma: Everything that happens to us, positive or negative, we attract due to past action. Use proper channels when harmed; never retaliate. Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Tirukural, Gurudeva’s teachings all give examples of how to avoid harming others. T-H-I-N-K.

Path to Siva, Lesson 48.
