How can we apply Non-Violence?

The application of true ahimsa (non-violence) is much easier said than done. Here is a message that you can repeat to yourself to support you in your journey.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

From me there shall come no injury, no pain, no suffering or destruction to life in any form.

I shall not cause any pain or suffering to anyone.

I shall not cause any unnecessary sorrow to any person, and therefore, my speech will be soft and peace-giving.

My actions will be conductive to the good of others, to the benefit and happiness of others, and not the contrary.

My mind will always think well of others.

I have thoughts full of goodwill, peace, affection, love, friendliness, brotherhood, oneness, unity, sympathy and kindness.

I understand, with a little reflection, that it is only then when I an engaged in the process of real self-expression, of true self expression where I am a centre of love, a centre of all that is auspicious and good, a centre of peace, a centre of sweetness and kindness.

Thanks to Swami Chidananda
