The monk who wanders from village to village alone in a state of immature knowledge and conduct is overpowered by troubles and tribulations and exerts in an undesirable way. Bhakyam Sutra 62 Now, the Sutra mentions the pitfalls of the monk who is inapt and dwells alone. The inapt is so in respect of knowledge and age. The monk who has read the Acarakalpa or who has become competent to practise the intensive penance of solitary dwelling on account of his study is the apt one. One who has not read the Acarakalpa is inapt. The monk who is below the age of sixteen is inapt. His itinerary from village to village is against the discipline and spiritual exertion in ineffectual. The solitary itinerary' from village to village of an inapt monk is exposed to troubles and tribulations, and his spiritual exertion also is away from the proper path of discipline.? 5.63 vayasa vi ege buiya kupamti manava. Immature people get angry even with trifle abuse. Mit 4511 MTS-PANER, 2008 - 1 . Page #8 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Bhasyam Sutra 63 Some inapt persons get angry when adversely addressed. They are overwhelmed with emotion on hearing unfavourable remarks. This is a form of disturbance in the observance of the discipline. 5.64 unnayamane ya nare, mahata mohena mujjhati. An immature person puffed up with egoism is embarrssed with deep delusion. Bhajyam Sutra 64 An inapt person, on hearing words of praise from others, is puffed up with, that is, overcome by egoism; he feels stupefied due to deep delusion. This is also a disturbance in the discipline. The inapt, non-plused by praise, is stupefied sometimes by deluded (i.e. perverse) faith (doctrine), sometimes by deluded ethics. 5.65 sambaha bahave bhujjo-bhujjo duratikkama ajanato apasato. There are many obstacles, very difficult to overcome for the ignorant and the blinded. Bhayyam Sutra 65 For the inapt who neither knows nor sees, there arise frequently many obstructions, that is, troubles and tribulations. He does not know or see how these hardships and troubles are to be endured; nor does he know the merit in enduring them and the demerit in not enduring them. Consequently they are very difficult for him to overcome. 5.66 eyam te ma hou. 'Let me wander alone in the immature state', -- let such whim not occur in your mind. Bhaoyam Sutra 66 One should not entertain the idea of living a lonely life in the state of inaptness. This is the advice of the teacher to the taught. If an inapt person desires to dwell alone, the order of the discipline is disrupted. In the Jina's order, there is prescribed not only collective practice A IME U BIC 140 Page #9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ of discipline, but there is also the prescription of individual practice, though, of course, there are proper grounds for the latter. A competent person is allowed to make his own resolve of lonely dwelling. The prohibition is only with respect to an incompetent person. 5.67 eyam kusalassa damsanam. This is the doctrine of the wise. Bhagyam Sutra 67 The demerits of the lonely life of the inapt, mentioned here, are in accord with the discipline of the enlightened Lord. 5.68 taddithie tammottie tappurakkare tassanni tannivesane. The monk should fix his faith in the doctrine of the Lord, identify himself with it, accord supreme importance to it, merge himself in the memory of it and completely dedicate himself to it. Bhasyam Sutra 68 The aspirant should fix his attention on the doctrine of the enlightened, that is, he should identify himself with it. He should embody the doctrine and merge himself in it in order to observe the discipline. He should always keep his mind turned towards the discipline, keeping it in front of his mind. He should have a steadfast memory of the discipline in order ever to be mindful of it. He should fix his mind on it and get his mind firmly concentrated on it.3 5.69 jayamvihari cittanivati pamthanijjati palibahare, pasiya pane gacchejja. The self-restrained monk should concentrate his mind on his movement fix his vision on the path, contract his feet, inspecting creatures on the path, and walk carefully avoiding them. Bhaoyam Sutra 69 Now the Sutra explains the rule of physical movement: A person desirous of emancipation should move fully self-restrained; his mind should keep engaged on the movement, his awareness should be directed exclusively to the act of going; his eye should remain fixed on the path, he should Okeit 451 IMS-FACER, 2008 C Page #10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ move, properly inspecting the path; he should contract his feet when confronted with living beings; he should carefully apprehend living creatures that may lie on the way. These are the five rules regarding selfrestrained movement. 5.70 se abhikkamamane paoikkamamane samkucemane pasaremane viniyattamane sampalimajjhamane. The aspirant performs these acts fully self-restrained: moving forward and backward, contracting and expanding his body, ceasing from activities, and cleaning his body with a woolen brush. Bhayyam Sutra 70 The aspirant for emancipation sometimes moves forward, sometimes backward, sometimes contract his feet and arms, sometimes stretches them, sometimes he stops going and coming and wipes, with full restraint, the living beings crawling on his body, with woolen whisk. 5.71 egaya gunasamiyassa riyato kaya samphasamanucinna egatiya pana uddayamti. Sometimes, some insects may get injured or die coming in contact with the body of a monk, leading a life of self-restraint with complete self-awareness. Bhasyam Sutra 71 A monk, possessed of the virtues of restrained movement, etc., sometimes, when on tour, is touched by living beings that consequently may be injured or meet death. Does the monk incur any bondage in such circumstances? In respect of this query, the complexity of karmic bondage is to be understood. There is no karmic bondage in the case of the monk who has reached the state of rock-like firmness of the soul, immediately before final liberation. In case of the monk who is free from attachment but is accompanied with activities, there is karmic bondage which is instantaneous, lasting for two time-units. In the case of completely vigilant restrained person, the duration of the karmic bondage is less than a muhurtta (48 minutes) in the minimum, or eight muhurttas in the maximum. In the case of a non-vigilant restrained person who is not inclined towards any kind of violent activity, there is karmic bondage of - geeft u zich 140 Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ less than one muhurtta in the minimum, or eight years in the maximum. Such bondage is worn off in that very life. This is stated explicitly in the next Sutra -- 5.72 ihaloga-veyana-vejjavadiyam. Such monk incurs karmic bondage which he exhausts in this very life. Bhasyam Sutra 72 In the case of a monk who is observing the rules of movement completely in accord with the norm, and is self-restrained, though non-vigilant, and has not any inclination to violent activity, if any creature is injured or meets death being touched by the body of the monk, there is karmic bondage which is exhausted in this life. Such bondage, on account of its being of small duration, wears off in that very life. 5.73 jam auttikayam kammam, tam parinnae vivegameti. The act done due to inclination towards violence or the resolve to harm is brought to an end by the power of comprehension. Bhaoyam Sutra 73 If an act due to inclination or due to the resolve to harm is done intentionally by the non-vigilant restrained monk, it is nullified or uprooted by comprehension or atonement." 5.74 evam se apamaenam, vivegam kittati veyavi. The learned sage propounded the destruction of the karma by means of the practice of vigilance. Bhajyam Sutra 74 Thus, the karma incurred due to non-vigilance is uprooted by means of vigilance (self-awareness). This is the opinion of the sages, conversant with the scriptures, as has been stated in the Sthananga - "How can, O Lord! the misery be endured and eradicated?" Replied the Lord, "by means of vigilance."8 5.75 se pabhuyadamsi pabhuyaparinnane uvasamte samie sahite saya jae dattham vippadivedeti appanam -- mit usi mis-PANCR, 2008 - - 5 Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 5.76 kimesa jano karissati? 5.77 esa se paramaramo, jao logammi itthio. When a monk with fully developed insight and knowledge, calm, perfectly careful, tolerant, always restrained, perceive a woman tempting him, he should reflect within himself about what would the person (woman) do to him. The greatest temptation in this world are the women. Bhasyam Sutras 75-77 The subjugation of the senses is practicable only with adequate spiritual practice. The following are the conditions of such practice -- 1] Deep insight into the fructification of the karma. 2] Deep comprehension of the nature of bondage and liberation from bondage. 3] Calming down of passions and quasi-passions. 4] Careful activity and constant application of study etc. 5] Tolerance of hardships, especially tolerance of the emotions such as sex, anger, pride, etc. 6] Unabating self-restraint and desisting from the objects that provocate the senses. A monk exerting to conquer the senses by observing these conditions of spiritual practice reflects within himself on seeing a woman engaged in amorous gestures and postures : Iam completely established in myself, and therefore, what could such woman addicted to sex do to me. Women in the world are the sources of utmost pleasure. They generate delusion, being the sources of worldly pleasure.! 5.78 munina hu etam paveditam, ubbahijjamane gamadhammehim -- The Lord has declared the following antidotes for a person tormented by sex: He should -- 5.79 avi nibhalasae. Take light diet; A neft si 3ich 140 Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 5.80 avi omoyariyam kujja. Reduce his diet; 5.81 avi uddhamihanam thaijja. Relax his body and do headstand posture; 5.82 avi gamanugamam duijjejja. Wander from village to village; 5.83 avi aharam vocchimdejja. Undertake fasting; 5.84 avi cae itthisu manam. Withdraw his mind from women. Bhasyam Sutras 78-84 The great sage Lord Mahavira has said -- a monk tormented by sexual desires should adopt the following measures: The sexual excitement is twofold: caused or spontaneous. Some are due to external objects and others due to internal state of the mind. The external sexual excitement has three varieties: due to hearing a sound, due to seeing a form (of beauty) and due to the memory of the pleasure enjoyed in the past. The internal excitement also has three varieties: due to the rising of karma, due to the effect of food, due to the nourishment of the body." The following are the measures for their treatment: In the Sthanarga, the four causes of sexual excitement are mentioned. The nourishment of flesh and blood is one of them.'? It has, therefore, been said in the present scripture that one should abandon nourishing flesh and blood. '3 The sexual excitement is related to the accumulation of semen, and the accumulation of semen is related to food. And, therefore, in connection with subjugating the sex, instructions related to food are available. In the Nisitha Bhasya and the Curni, this topic has been lucidly dealt with. gore usil Triis-faataR, 2008 - Page #14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The ways are: [1] Taking light food (Sutra 79) [2] Reducing the diet (Sutra 80) [3] Headstand posture (Sutra 81) In headstand posture, the eyes are to be firmly fixed on the tip of the nose or the brows. The act of firmly fixing is to be repeated. By such practice the downward movement of respiration is weakened and the upward one is strengthened. On the strengthening of the downward respiration, the sexual propensity is augmented. On the strengthening the upward respiration, the propensity is made inactive. 14 The sexual propensity is also calmed down by repeating the perception of the balanced inhaling and exhaling accompanied by citation of approved mantra twenty five times. [4] He should wander from village to village (sutra 82) For the person with predominace of the passion of hatred, the sitting posture is beneficial, but for one with the predominance of the passion of attachment, standing and walking are beneficial. Therefore journey on foot from village to village is the way for practising the celibacy. [5] Fasting (Sutra 83) The enduring monk and nun should stop taking food for these six reasons in order to avoid the transgression of their vow of self-restraint: (1) When they suffer from any disease; (2) When they face troubles and tribulations; (3) For observing celibacy; (4) Out of compassion to avoid injuring living beings; (5) To practise austerity and penance; (6) To practise fasting unto death." The following traditional meaning of the Sutra 83 is found in the Curni (p.186): the aspirant living on light food in order to control his sexual desire should repeat the practise of reduced diet. If he fails to control gerent si 3ic 140 Page #15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ his sexual desire, he should practise attenuation of the body and passions by fasting and prepare for finally fasting unto death. This is the way for the unlearned aspirant to control his sexual desire. For the learned monk, engagement in study etc. is the way. [6] To stop thinking about sexual desires (Sutra 84) "Even while leading the life of equanimity, sometimes, due to sexual desires, the monk's mind may go astray, from self-restraint. In such moments, he should reflect that 'neither she is mine, nor I am hers'. In this way, he should get rid of the sexual inclination towards her. "Mortify yourself with austerity, abandon easy life; overcome sexual desires; you will then be easily capable of getting rid of the passion of hatred and eliminating your attachment. Thus you will become happy in this world." 16 'Light diet' means black pulse, butter-milk etc. or the low-caloried food that weakens the body. 'Reduced diet' means only one-cereal diet or meagre food. Headstand means relaxation lasting for one to four quarters. The sexual desire is calmed down on account of lack of association with stimulants. In the opinion of yogis, conversant with the centres of consciousness, the, centres of power, health and fire are respectively activated by the instincts of sex, alimentary nourishment and desire for fame. The centre of bliss becomes inactive in such circumstances, and as a result the wisdom for personal welfare does not wake up nor does the desire for wearing off the karma grow up. It is for this reason that the path for strengthening and nourishing the state of celibacy, controlling diet and calming down the hankering for fame,' has been pointed out. On the activation of the centre of bliss, all these three instincts are uprooted." 5.85 puvvam damda paccha phasa, puvvam phasa paccha damda. First pain then pleasure, first pleasure then pain. Bhagyam Sutra 85 Now the two supporting Sutras (85, 86) are given here. "Pleasure' means sensual pleasure. There is concomitance between pain and pleasure. gatai Mais-frana, 2008 - Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The pleasure generates heat in him who hankers after it and thereby causes pain in advance. It has, therefore, been said: the pain preceded the" pleasure. When there is accidentally pleasure, there is consequential pain which destroys the power of enjoyment by producing discontent. This is corroborated in the following verse: "The desires produce torture at the outset, and cause discontent when satisfied; and at the end they are difficult to get rid of. How then can a wise man succumb to sexual desires?' 19 5.86 iccette kalahasamgakara bhavamti, paailehae agametta anavejja anasevanae tti bemi. The sexual desires generate dispute and attachment. Following the injuctions of the scripture, the preceptor should instruct the disciple to desist from those desires -- thus do I say. Bhasyam Sutra 86 The sexual desires are sources of quarrel and affectionate bond.20 The respective merits and demerits accruing from indulgence in and abstinence from the desires should be ascertained by the preceptor by investigating of the scriptural injunctions in order to prohibit the disciples from taking resort to them. 5.87 se no kahie no pasanie no sampasarae no samae no kayakirie vaigutte ajjhappa-samvude parivajjae sada pavam. The celibate should not indulge in sexy talks nor should he look at women amorously, nor should he communicate lustful ideas, nor claim them as his own, nor embellish his body; he should observe silence, withdraw his mind from desires and avoid evil indulgence. Bhajyam Sutra 87 The celibate should not engage in gossiping about caste, family, costume, cosmetic etc: of women. He should not be a visitor to the exhibition of articles that excite desires. He should not have a communication with women, that is, he should not dwell near women, nor should he talk or discuss with them in a lonely place. He should not cultivate affection through relationship and acquaintance. He should not resort to external 10 - met u zic 140 Page #17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ beautification, that is, embellishment by cosmetic and the like. He should not answer any query about amorous matter, but should control his speech, that is, observe silence. When engaged in the studying sutras or their meaning, he should direct his mind exclusively to them, controlling himself, that is, his mind. Thus he should give up all evil indulgences, that is, attachment to desires forever by means of restraining his speech and controlling his mind. 5.88 etam monam samanuvasijjasi. - tti bemi. You should meticulously follow this discipline of monkhood. -- Thus do I say. Bhaoyam Sutra 88 There are many kinds of abstinence prescribed for the practice of monkhood. Out of them, the abstinence from violence has been prescribed in detail in the first chapter and at many other places in the scripture under study are given. The abstinence from falsehood, from what is not given, from carnal desires and possessions. Particularly the abstinence from the carnal desires is enjoined in this chapter. In the present Sutra in this context, the monkhood as abstinence of carnal desires is prescribed to be followed References: 1. 'dunca' - paritape iti divadiganasthasya dhatoh 'duyamana iti sanapratyarupam nispadyate, na tu 'dum gatau' iti dhatoh. asmin visaye vsttikarasya matamidam --- 'duyamanasya' anekarthatvad dhatunam viharatah.' (Vrtti. p.193). Curnikarena idam matam anyatha vyakhyatam -- 'hemamtagimhasu dosurijjati, jati dohim va padehim rijjati duijjati duijjam.' (Curini, p.181) 2. One of the disciples asked the preceptor. "O Preceptor! What does the word avyakta (i.e. immature) connote?" The preceptor replied, "Some persons are immature both in knowledge and age; some persons are immature in knowledge but mature in age; some persons are mature in knowledge and immature in age; and some persons are mature both in knowledge and age." Those who are above the age of sixteen are mature with respect to neft si ulmis-fatare, 2008 C - 11 Page #18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ age, and those who have learned upto the third part (viz. Acara-vastu) of the Ninth Book of the Fourteen Purvas, are mature with respect to knowledge. The muni who is mature both in knowledge and age can move about on purpose practising asceticism in solitariness. 3. The author of the Curni explains aphorism 68 in the context of 'preceptor' and aphorism 69 in that of 'manner of moving' (irya), whereas the author of the Vrtti explains them both in the former context, except the phrase "Pasiya pane gacchejja." However, both the commentators agree that aphorism 69 is the source of the 3rd chapter called (irya of the Ayaro-cula). The author of the Curni has mentioned in the preface of Ayara-cula that the chapter intitled irya has been developed from aphorisms 62, 68, 69, 70 of the present chapter. On the basis of this information and also the verse - Tammutti tappurakkare uvautte of the Uttaradhyayana Sutra (24/8), both these aphorisms (viz.68,69) may be interpreted in terms of irya, but we have translated aph. 68 in the context of kusala (i.e., Bhagavan Mahavira) (see Aphorism 67) on the basis of the explanation of the Curni cf. 5.109. 4. esa 'palivahare' iti padasya anuvado vidyate --- 'palivahare' pratipam ahare jamtum drstva samkocae desibhasae.

Thus do I say: for instance, there is a lake which is full to the brim, in an even plane, dust settled at bottom, harbouring acquatic creatures and is a confluence of various streams. Bhasyam Sutra 89 Now I give an illustration to exemplify the Acarya -- A lake is of four types: 1] A lake from which stream is flowing out, but is not flowing in. 2] In another lake, stream is flowing in, but not flowing out. 3] In some other lake, stream is flowing in as well as flowing out. 4] In another lake, the stream is neither flowing out nor flowing in The lake is full of lotuses. It is situated on an even piece of land, that is, provided with a ford for easy entry and exit. The lake is limpid, that is, free from mud. It gives resort to fish and tortoise. It is situated at the centre of streams, that is, at a place where streams are flowing in and out. This is the exemplar. The application of the exemplar to that of the above mentioned four alternatives: the first stands for the Jinas, the second for the monks practising the Jina's course, the third for the preceptors and the fourth for the enlightened ones who were enlightened isolated and spontaneously at the sight of a specific sign or object. Out of them the third is full of the qualities of the preceptor of pure knowledge, who stands on the even land, that is, the stream of equanimity. He calms down the dirt of deluding karma. He does not harm the six classes of living beings, and thus protects them. Likewise, he teaches the disciples and learns from the scriptures, gari us11 MTS-Tecp, 2008 17 Page #24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ and thus, is comparable to the person standing at the confluence of the stream. 5.90 se pasa savvato gutte, pasa loe mahesino, je ya pannanomamta pabuddha arambhovaraya. Look at the great sages completely guarded with respect to all the senses, who are possessed of wisdom, awakened and desist from all sorts of violence. Bhasyam Sutra 90 You look at the great sages who are wise and protected against all the senses, who are conversant with the fourteen Purvas or with the Acaranga etc., and who are intelligent people endowed with the power of clairvoyance and mind-reading or expert in scriptural lore.? They are free from ignorance, passions, semi-passions and non-restraint, and thus abstain themselves from all sorts of violence.3 5.91 sammameyamti pasaha. Practice this truth properly. Bhasyam Sutra 91 Look properly at the great sages, who have guarded themselves in all respect. They are wise, intelligent and away from violence, and are indeed the great preceptors. 5.92 kalassa kamkhae parivvayamti tti bemi. They lead the ascetic life of self-restraint unto their last breath thus do I say. Bhasyam Sutra 92 Those preceptors who follow this course till death, are engaged in meditation." Thus do I say.7 5.93 vitigiccha-samavannenam appanenam no labhati samadhim. A person of wavering mind cannot attain the state of contemplation. Bhasyam Sutra 93 Now, the section on discipline begins. The disciple approches the preceptor to learn the subject matter of the scripture. Some subject matter can be tulasI prajJA aMka 140 18 Page #25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ learnt with ease and some with difficulty. Out of them, the formless and the subtle, even though not formless are difficult to understand. In the process of understanding them, doubts may arise as to whether the particular subject matter was so or not so.8 'Contemplation' means onepointedness or the unperturbed state of the mind. The person who is afflicted with doubt about the subtle subject matter is incapable of concentrating his mind on any subject, as he is wavering with doubt, nor does he attain the tranquillity or right vision. 5.94 siya vege anugacchamti, asiya vege anugacchamti, anugacchamanehim ananugacchamane kaham na Nibbijje? Some disciples, conversant with the metaphysics, follow the preceptor, some disciples, not conversant with the metaphysics, also follow him. Among these followers, there may be one the disciple who does not follow the preceptor. Would not he be necessarily indifferent (to the instruction)? Bhajyam Sutra 94 The disciples are of two types; guided and unguided.' 'Guided' means trained in the knowledge of truth. 'Unguided' means not trained in the knowledge of truth. Some guided disciples also follow the subject matter explained by the preceptor. Some unguided disciples also do so. While following the preceptor, they express their gratefulness -- 'oh! the great ascetics have so well explained the doctrine!' Some others who do not truly follow the preceptor express their doubt about the preceptor's instructions and are disgusted with them. Such disciples must necessarily be disgustful towards the right faith, the penance or the self-restraint. 10 5.95 tameva saccam nisamkam, jam jinehim paveiyam. Whatever has been declared by the Jina is true and absolutely beyond doubt. Bhaoyam Sutra 95 It is the basic Sutra that expels the disgust of the disciple who fails to understand the subtle truth. Even if you are not able to understand the subtle truth you should not have doubt about that. The Jinas are free from all attachment. They do not propound the untruth, you should have faith Tr 491 TIMIS-Feater, 2008 - 19 Page #26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ in what has been propounded by the Jinas, because what is propounded by them is necessarily true and free from all doubts. There is a corroborating reference in the Bhagavati' which confirms this Sutra. 5.96 saddhissa nam samanunnassa sampavvayamanssa -- samiyamti manna- manassa egaya samiya hoi. asamiyamti mannamanassa egaya asamiya hoi. samiyamti mannamanassa egaya samiya hoi. samiyamti mannamanassa egaya asamiya hoi. samiyamti mannamanassa samiya va, asamiya va, samiya hoi uvehae. asamiyamti mannamanassa samiya va, asamiya va, asamiya hoi uvehae. 5.97 uvehamana anuvehama buya "uvehahi samiyae." 5.98 iccevam tattha samdhi jhosito bhavati. (96-98) Whatever a faithfully, well-disposed man, on entering the order, thought to be true, that may afterwards appear to him true; what he thought to be true, that may afterwards appear to him untrue; what he thought to be untrue, that may afterwards appear to him true; what he thought to be untrue, that may afterwards appears to him untrue. What he thinks to be true, that may, on consideration, appear to him true, whether it be true or untrue. What he thinks to be untrue, that may, on consideration, appear to him untrue, whether it be true or untrue. But the monk with the balanced view.should say to the monk of unbalanced view: please resort to the balanced view for perceiving the truth. In this way the juncture (right vision) should be properly put into action. Bhasyam Sutra 96-98 A disciple of firm faith, who accepts as unassailable truth whatever has been propounded by the Jina is commendable; He, after having attained the qualifi-cation of a monk becomes a monk by renouncing the world. 1] Sometimes the truth or the conduct that he happens to consider as true or right comes out true. 2] Sometimes 12 what he considers as right comes out to be wrong. 3] Sometimes what he considers to be wrong comes out to be true. 4] Sometimes what he considers as wrong comes out to be wrong. 20 = - The 4511 3ich 140 Page #27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Now these four alternatives are condensed into two: 1] suppose somebody considers something as right. That may factually be right or wrong, but on account of his equanimity, that becomes right. 2] Suppose somebody considers something as wrong. That may factually be right or wrong, but due to his equanimity, that becomes wrong. 13 Here the topic under consideration are the transcendental and empirical stand-points. The transcendental stand-point concerns with the objects that are not knowable by the senses but can be known only by higher wisdom. The empirical stand-point concerns with what can be known by the intellect. Some intelligent renunciators think about some principles as right by means of his own intellect, although (in fact), that is not right. Similarly, he considers some principles as not right, though it is right. Here the Sutra presumes identification between the transcendental and the empirical stand-points, though they are quite different. Unbiasedness or equanimity is the principle that establishes the identity. If the thinker is unbiased, then even though a principle is not right according to the transcendental stand-point, it is right if it is thought to be so according to the empirical stand-point. Similarly, what is right according to the transcendental stand-point can be considered wrong according to the empirical stand-point.14 The unbiased person should address the biased person in this way you should cultivate unbiasedness for the purpose of realizing the truth. You should adopt the attitude of equanimity'. In this way, for the unbiased, the juncture between the thirteen cleavages of knowledge etc. due to the fruition of the view-deluding karma is realized; 16 'juncture' means the juncture of right vision. The right vision is capable of being established only by the attitude of equanimity in respect of the different varieties of knowledge etc. 5.99 utthiyassa thiyassa gatim samanupasaha. Look at the status of the monk who is spiritually awakened and strongly established in self-restraint. tulasI prajJA julAI-sitambara, 2008 21 Page #28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Bhaoyam Sutra 99 You should properly look at the state, status, and the designation of the person who has risen up through right exertion and is well established' in the community of the preceptor. While staying in the community of the preceptor, there grows in him the competence for scriptural knowledge, steadiness in faith and unwavering state of spiritual practice. 5.100 etthavi balabhave appanam no uvadamsejja. Do not succumb to the state of the ignorant who does not find any fault in violence. Bhagyam Sutra 100 Here in respect of violence, there is immatured inclinations of some thinkers who think that, as there is no conflagration or hole in the sky (space), similarly there is no conflagration or hole in the soul. The soul is as eternal as the space, and therefore injury to life is quite impossible. One should not leave oneself in such perversity. One should not support violence on the plea of the eternality of the soul. On the contrary, the monk should address the people indulging in violence in the following way: 5.101 tumamsi nama sacceva jam 'hamtavvam' ti mannasi, tumamsi nama sacceva jam 'ajjaveyavvam' ti mannasi, tumamsi nama sacceva jam 'paritaveyavvam' ti mannasi, tumamsi nama sacceva jam 'parighetavvam' ti mannasi. tumamsi nama sacceva jam 'uddaveyavvam' ti mannasi. You are indeed he whom you intend to hurt. You are indeed he who, you intend to govern. You are indeed he who, you intend to torture. You are indeed he who, you intend to enslave. You are indeed he who, you intend to kill. Bhagyam Sutra 101 'You are indeed the person whom you consider to be worthy of being killed. In this way the non-duality of the self as the killer and the killed is established. "The person whom you are torturing is non-else than yourself. And therefore do you not kill yourself while you think you are killing somebody else?' Through an appreciation of such non-duality of the killer 22 Tot un 3ich 140 Page #29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ and the killed the abstinence from violence becomes the nature of oneself. Where there is the experience of duality or the experience of otherness with oneself, there is the contingency of killing and the like. In this way, the instruction is given about the non-duality, that is the nature of the self. Such explanation is applicable to the acts of commanding, torturing etc. 5.102 amju ceya-padubuddha-jivi, tamha na hamta na vighayae. The wise person leads a simple and righteous life with proper understanding, so he does not indulge in hurting or get anybody hurt by others. Bhajam Sutra 102 The non-violent person is simple and righteous. He leads the life, fully realizing the identity between killer and the killed. He does not accept this principle out of fear or conceit. This is the reason why he does not kill creatures or get them killed by others. 5.103 anusamveyanamappanenam, jam 'hamtavvam' ti nabhipatthae. One has to suffer the consequences of his own deeds; so do not wish to hurt others. Bhajyam Sutra 103 "You have to enjoy the result of your own karma'. This is called the 'consequential enjoyment by oneself. It has been said in the Curni (p.194) that you have to feel as you made others to feel. Therefore, one should not wish that any creature should be killed. 18 5.104 je aya se vinnaya, je vinnaya se aya. jena vijanati se aya. The soul is the knower and the knower is the soul. That through which one knows is the soul. Bhasyam Sutra 104 The soul is a substance; and knowledge is its quality. To the query whether the quality is different or non-different from the substance, the Sutra says the soul is that which knows. The implication is that the soul is not bereft of knowledge. The implication of the statement, that which knows is the soul is that knowledge is not possible without the soul. Says the Curni -- *there cannot be any soul that is devoid of the knowledge and cognition. Irreft usi nis - Farape, 2008 - 23 Page #30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Fire is never devoid of heat, that is the heat is not different from the fire. Therefore, when fire is spoken of, heat is implicitly spoken of. Similarly the assertion of the soul is tantamount to the assertion of cognition : the assertion of cognition is tantamount to the assertion of the soul. In this way the topic is discussed through the method of vice-versa'.!In the Bhagavati (6.174) too, the non-difference between the soul and consciouness has been propounded in the following way: 'O Lord! is the self soul? Is the consciousness soul?' 'O Gautama! the self is necessarily soul, consciousness is also necessarily soul. Here it has been propounded that the self is also soul, the consciousness is also soul. The instrument by which the self cognizes, that cognition (instrument) is also the self20 ("self' and 'soul have been used in the same sense). 5.105 tam paducca padisamkhae. Various transformations of knowledge designate the soul differently. Bhagyam Sutra 105 If the self and knowledge are considered to be non-different, then on the multiplicity of the cognition, each self will be a multiple entity. There are infinite number of modes of the sensuous knowledge and the like, 21 and as such, a single self will be virtually an infinitely multiple entity. On this problem, the Sutra says -- the self assumes various cognitions, and is known or signified by those particular cognitions. For instance, when the self knows the jar, it is (called) 'jar-knowledge'. Similarly, when the self hears the audible it is 'auditory sense-organ', and so on; it is the 'tactile sense-organ' when it knows the touch. There is no cloth-consciousness at the time of jar-consciousness and vice-versa. Here the tripple aspects of existence are to be applied -- the soul is possessed of origination, cessation and continuity. The existence of the self is eternal; the modes of knowledge arise and vanish. Depending on those tripple aspects, the unitary soul is designated as a multiple entity.22 5.106 esa ayavadi samiyae-pariyae viyahite. A believer of the soul is called a person who has perfectly comprehended the Truth. 24 - Tri usit sich 140 Page #31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ The believer in the doctrine of the self is rightly called a person of enlightened vision just because he accepts the aforesaid doctrine of the self. The designation, namely the believer in the doctrine of the self is rightly applicable to the person who has comprehended the true nature of the self. (Cf. Ayaro, 5.27). References: 1.

The state of mind of a sadhaka which flows from despondency is described in the following two categories of hardships viz. prajna parisaha and ajnana-parisaha discussed in the Uttaradhyayana Sutra (2/40-43): "A monk should never succumb to the onslaught of despondency due to ignorance by thinking thus: It is undoubtedly myself who, in the past had indulged in actions which did engender ignorance as their consequence: it is on account of them that I know nothing, (not even how to answer) any question put to me by anyone.(40). "The karma which as its consequence engenders ignorance, and which even if accumulated in the past, starts giving its fruits on rising." -- knowing thus the consequences of the karma, a muni should console his own soul. (41). "I abstained from sexual intercourse and curbed my senses and mind --- all this has been in vain. For I do not know directly or positively whether righteousness is beneficial or detrimental. (42). "I practise austerities and religious observance. I have also undertaken special course of sadhana. In spite of following such (higher) code of sadhana, I have failed to obliterate the veils of karma obscuring knowledge." (43) Muni should never think in such terms." Also such a state of mind is comparable with the first duhkha-sayya (i.e. living in gloom) described in the Sthananga Sutra (4/450). The next aphorism is meant to boost up the faith of a sadhaka and dispel his gloom. 11. Amgasuttani II, Bhagavas 1.131,132 : 'se nunam bhamte! tameva saccam nisamkam jam jenehim paveiyam?' 'hamta goyama! tameva saccam nisamkam, jam jenehim paveiyam.' 'se nunam bhamte! evam manam dharemine, evam pakaremane, evam citthemane, evam samvaremane anae arahae bhavati?i 26 C - Imei usi 3ia 140 Page #33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ 'hamta goyama! evam manam dharemane, evam pakaremane, evam citthemmne, evam samvaremane anae arahae bhavati.' 12. Apte, ekada -- Once, at the same time, simultaneously. 13. All munis do not possess the faculty of direct perception; and their knowledge and way of thinking may also differ. A person devoid of direct (or Transcendental) perception can judge a particular course of action only through exercising his own unbiased discretion, but he cannot judge if that course of action is actually right or not. Therefore, the author of the canon has asserted here that, for one whose conscience is pure and whose discernment is unprejudiced, a particular course of action is right, if it is felt so empirically. In the same way, anything propounded to be improper by him is improper, whether it is in reality improper or not. Thus a sramana who practises any course of action in an unbiased way, is aptly called as the Truth-seeker. This very fact has been mentioned in the present sutra.

The former denied a relational objective world, admitted change without identity. The latter denied the laws of contradiction and excluded middle, on which the realist edifice stands, uses this denial to force the realist to admit such a world of experience that is mithya, i.e., neither sat (real) nor asat (unreal). Both of them are the prophets of despair of discursive reason. For the one the anekantavadin raises the problem of identity and change", must the idea of change exclude the idea of "identity" metaphysical and epistemic? For the other he raises the problem whether the laws of contradiction and excluded middle could be a proof or disproof for ontological beings, are they laws of being? Acarya Umasvati formulated the anekantavadin's position in a cryptic sentence: utpadavyayadhrauvyayuktam sat: the phenomenologically given world of sensory experience is sat, and sat is generation - change - identity in one. The word "yuktam" implies oneness = aprthagbhuta, not added, not sankalita. The focus on Jain metaphysics is to be narrowed here for our purpose, to bring three major points to relief. One, pudgala vastu - jivapudgala and ajivapudgala, and the bhedabheda= identity - difference relation (ifit is a relation at all). Two, a theory of meaning. Consequent upon these two arises the problem of the "other" and anekantavadin's response to it. This paper has been written in two parts. Part I is an explication on the above three points. Part II is 1 TIMIS- F ara, 2008 29 greit Page #36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ application. anekantavada is a philosophy of life, praxis. To accept it is to live it. I have applied the theory in a conflict situation and see how anekantavada deals with it. Religious conflicts have been an affliction to civilized life since the time of the Rgveda. But we have survived. Our long tradition of rationality and a will to live a good life have been the secret of our survival, anekantavada as a theory and praxis is integral to this reason and will and the sense of sacred. I 1. Jain metaphysics is built upon six reals (tattva, dravya), namely, consciousness =jiva =atma and five non-conscious ajiva, namely, dharma (rest, stability, equilibrium), adharma (motion), akasa, pudgala, kala. Only pudgala are rupi= murtta, having sensory qualities, are objects of sensory perception. Jivapudgala is the person, both human and sub-human, is knower, agent, enjoyer of pleasures and pains. To note, there is no "mindbody relation" problem involved here because no "substance - essence" theory is admitted here and because jiva (atman) and paramanupunja (pudgala) relation is not of the model "A-R-B". For us jivapudgala is a given fact. Jain philosophers speculate that karma-bandha from unknown past is the cause behind this fact. 2. Pudgala are paramanu punja (skandha), i.e., atom compositions. The changing modes of the compositions, paryaya, make the world of objects of our sensory perception, like jar, table, flower. The changing modes have cognitive identity for us because of the four qualities resident in it (pudgala). The pudgala means fusion-dispersion of atoms continuously going on, having different modes. A particular mode (say, a jar) as an event lasts so long as another paryaya, an eventual mode, a non-jar (may be a table or a cup) does not occur. Thus it can be said, I believe, the jar is defined by its resident qualities (eg, red etc) as well as "non-jar". This metaphysical idea presented in language - sruta jnana, is confirmed, I believe, in the third statement in saptabhanginaya: syad ghata asti ca nasti ca. The now existing jar is metaphysically determined by its other, defined by its other non-jar. In this sense the jar is also non-jar. The idea becomes clear if we accept that we cannot get behind words. Words are signs, the signified is another word. We move from word to word to word. This is the position of today's philosophy of language. Claude Levi-Strauss had said that a word is tulasI prajJA aMka 140 30 Page #37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ meaningful because of its binary "other" word. Thus "light" and "dark" give meaning to each other by a binary relation. A single word by itself has no meaning. Rejecting this Structuralist view Jacque Derrida says that a word includes its other within its meaning. He refers to Plato's use of the word "pharmakon". The word means medicine, elixir of life as well as poison etc in its uses in Plato's writings. Thus the word contains opposites as its meaning. This idea Derrida applies in general in his theory of words and meanings. One can say that the sentence, ghata' asti ca nasti ca, reflects this idea if taken in terms of philosophy of language. The point I want to make is that today's cultural problem of the "other" can be seen in this light. In fact the other or others are not that "other" sealed off against each other. anekantavada, then, said this long before Derrida. 3. The theory of pudgala dravya points to another important direction. Though the atomic compositions are ever changing the resident qualities remain there. The qualities are not only varied and innumerable in their shades and grades, some of them have even opposite traits. For example, in a pudgala, at a given time, are both he traits of smell-fragrance and nidorous. This is true of all the four qualities residing in paramanupunja. According to situation, time etc it is determined whether fragrance shall be the dominant quality and the nidorous receding to the background, and vice-versa. The point is that the anekantavada not only accommodates the differences but also the opposites without difficulties -this metaphysical theory can be transformed into a sociocultural theory. 4.1. To sum up. anekantavada means more than coexistence of two opposite metaphysical principles, namely, jiva and ajiva that make a person = vyakti, both human and sub-human. The classical example is Mahavira's reply to Gautam's question, whether the jiva (jivapudgala) is of eternal being or of contingent being? Mahavira said, it is both, eternal by its being dravya (conscious dravya), and contingent by its bhava (paryaya). The point is that the subject of both these statements is one and the same. 4.2. anekantavada means coexistence in one subject of innumerable and even opposing qualities. For example, the fragrant and the nidorous smell is present in any object of sensory perception, which one has prominence at a point of time depends. 4.3. anekantavada means any particular object of perception is tulasI prajJA julAI-sitambara, 2008 31 Page #38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ metaphysically defined by its "other": ghata' asti ca nasti ca (This is how I understand the third statement in saptabhangi). 4.4. anekanta understood as a theory of word meaning in terms of the present language philosophy means, a word contains opposing nonsynonymous senses. Which one is in the focus and which one in the margin depends. Like Plato's "pharmakon". 4.5. anekantavada means co-existence of all events, paryaya, in historical narrative. 4.6. A major truth underlying anekantavada is the rejection of the principle of contradiction and excluded middle as law of being and as law of thought, both. II 1. My efforts in this Paper have been concentrated entirely on one point - How anekantavada deals with the metaphysical problem of the "other". Hegel faced the problem, so did Marx, by introducing a theory of dialectical movement of history-each synthesis progressively absorbing the antithesis, the other or negation of a thesis. Both of them interpreted history as teleologically unidimensional with one absolute end or one absolute beginning. Anekantavada, translated into a form of historical narration, reveals one truth that there is no scope for the principle of contradiction in the history of culture and civilizations. By implication it means that no absolute truth-claim being possible, truth-claims are all about a reality of relative nature. What it says about persons and objects and knowledge gives us a very clear picture of state of things wherein "is" and "is-not", "this" and "its other", make one reality, without contradiction. No difference does amount to contradiction and rejection. By application we can realize the truth of anekantavada as a lived philosophy. I have chosen religion as a subject for application, particularly because religions conflicts have made man suffer immensely from time immemorial. Look back to the Rgveda. To give a specimen: O Indra you were born to kill the dasyu people; O Indra, know who are arya and who are the dasyu, you subjugte those people who are against the yajna; Indra destroys the non-yajna people (I, 51. 6-9). It is obvious that the Aryans were the yajna-religion people of the deva clan. Those who do not believe in this from of religious worship and rituals are tulasI prajJA aMka 140 32 Page #39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ called the ayaj nik, non-yajna religions people like the asura (their own cousins), dasa, dasya, raksasa. These proper names of races have acquired a pejorative sense in the language of the conquerors. It is an instance of cultural conflict of a remote past inherited by us: It is still living in the form of varna dharma and caste hatred. New religious conflicts we have in our times. India today is a multi religious society. As cultural systems religions grow insularity and intolerance. The problem today is of understanding other religious cultures. If we accept that life and language interlace with each other, and language has "communicative competence", that there are in language certain categories which enable us to communicate, as Jurgen Habermas believes; or that there is a language matrice from which all languages emerged as Max Muller believed; or that language emanates genetically from the evolving brain-physiology and that there is thus a universal grammer, a conceptual core, for language and communication as Noam Chomsky believes, even then these remain problems. Not only that none of these reputed theories have been accepted by the post-modernists like Jacque Derrida, but there are difficulties with the very idea of a dialogue, even if we accept any of these theories of communication. Each religious system is bound by certain configurations of symbols, rituals, beliefs, and thoughts peculiar to it. A dialogue between two religious men shall be dominated by the meaning of words which are lexically the same but carry different senses because of civilisational determinations. The two persons may talk the same language but shall mostly miss other's use of words. We can get round this difficulty by a polylogue with religions. It is expected that meaning of words can be detected through the use of a word by different religions participating in a polylogue. Polylogue shall free the word from a cultural domination by the language of a dominant party. We know today how English language and European ideas dominated over a dialogue, and interpreted Indian cultural ideas in their terms. In a polylogue we can see one word in different contextual meaning, and a number of different words having more or less one meaning. If anekanta as a philosophical idea guides the polylogue and gives it a structure like the saptabhanginaya, we can be free of cultural dominance, and break the insularity of religious cultural systems. The "other" shall remain, shall not dominate; shall contribute, shall not vitiate cultures. In the following Section I lam illustrating this point taking as an example a specific ritual. We should remember that it is the ritual part that causes major conflict amongst religions, ont un MS-fack, 2008 33 - Page #40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ not the ethical part. These particular rituals occurred, rather came to be practiced, in human history in different paryaya and continues to day as events in narrative history of mankind and as rituals in different religious cultures. 2. In Hindu religion it is upanayana. A boy belonging to one of the upper three castes (some insist only the brahmin caste) ceremonially wears a thread of cotton across the shoulder. (A Sudra is given to wear a bangle in his upper arm). He is kept confined in a room where only an earthen lamp burns, where none except the mother can enter. In the Atharvaveda it is said that the priest (purohit), as if, holds the boy in his belly. In zoroastrianism it is naojot. The boy or girl ceremonially wear kusti - a thread of lambwool round the waist and sudreh-a vest. As the boy or girl proceeds towards the arena of the ceremony an egg is broken behind them. (They do it in marriage and other ceremonies also. In eastern part of Bengal, now Bangladesh, when the Hindu bride would enter the house of the groom she is ceremonially received and an egg is thrown over her shoulders). In Judaism it is circumcision - the mark of covenant with God. In Christianity they call it Baptism, replacing the old semetic custom of circumcision, introduced by John the Baptist. They say, it is circumcision of the heart. Holy water is sprinkled on the child with a chant to say, you are drowned and dead in the holy river Jordan, and again holy water in sprinkled with a chant, you are now resurrected with Jesus. In Islam it is the old semetic circumcission. In Melanesian countrie off a small bit of the left little finger or a small bit from the ear, among some central African tribe it is circumcission. The Neur tribes of southern Sudan, as Evans Pritchard saw it, make a cut along the eyebrows. Instances can be multiplied, These rituals have little similarity with each other religious conflicts center around these rituals. But observations or polylogue revealed one characteristic common to them all. They all mean, by different words, that at a certain age the boy is taken into the fold of the community in the name of god. It is initiation by different varied rituals. It is revealed by polylogue or observation that members of a religious community observe different types of rituals - birth rituals, initiation rituals, puberty rituals (for girls), marriage rituals, death rituals, etc. With all their differences by these rituals mankind remain one, as these are called by one word "rites of passage" (van Genep). It is both a descriptive and explanatory term. Human Society is like a building with rooms and corridors. One room signifies a particular structure of life. 34 greit sgt sich 140 Page #41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Man leaves one structure, walks the corridor ritually, is taken into a new structure with new vision of life, duties, obligation, religious awareness. At every stage a man is born again. A chick cannot re-enter the shell. Life is a onward journey. He carries a symbolic mark with him, like a thread, circumcision, etc. To take a anekanta drsti, the polylogue gives us the truth that reality is identity-in-difference. Rituals are paryaya recorded in narrative history of man and idealised. The eternal truth with them is oneness of mankind indicated in words by such concepts as "Initiation" in "Rites of Passage". Polylogue breaks the system barriers to help us to take a anekanta view of history and society, cultures and cultural differences. It helps us understand cultural conflicts and cultural unity. Rituals are occurrences and change, and have been changing. Moral qualities in a religion are common to all religions but are subject to interpretation and changeable by situational logic. What is sasvata is man's Reason and Will to live a Good Life and the Sense of Sacred. tulasI prajJA julAI-sitambara, 2008 35 Page #42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Facets of Non-violence Dr B.R. Dugar Pacifists believe that the most effective, the most equitable, the most economical way of meeting violence is to use non-violence. This belief is based upon individual experience and study of history, past and contemporary. The search for alternative to war has led to many proposals, ranging from William James'"moral equivalent to war" to world law. Most far-reaching of these is that which would substitute non-violent, civilian resistance for conventional military defense. Commander Stephen King Hall--a non-pacifists seen non-violence as the only feasible response to military threat in a nuclear age. True meaning of non-violence: Non-violence means making the enormous effort required to overcome evil with good. Non-violence does not rely on strong muscles and devilish armaments; it relies on moral courage, that there is in every human being, however brutal, however personally hostile, a fund of kindness, a love of justice, a respect for goodness and truth which can be reduced by anyone who uses the right means. To use these means is often extraordinarily hard; but history shows that it can be done--and done not only by exceptional individuals, but also by large groups of ordinary men and women and even by governments. Gene Sharp (1973), one of the major contemporary theorists of non-violence, has said that non-violence involves a kind of "Moral Jiu-Jutsu". This characterization encapsulates the particular nature of non-violent action. Non-violence is not passive. Though it can involve persuasion, it is not merely this. Nor is it a form of coercion like that 36 ic 140 Page #43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ used by the military. Non-violence seeks to establish a human bond between the resister and those being resisted. In the long run this changes the oppressor and can transform the system which has created the oppression in the first place. According to Robert Seeley (1986), -the most basic assumption of non-violent theory, and especially of non-violent civilians defence, is that government-and, by extension, occupation-functions only with the consent of the governed. This means literal physical cooperation. But this does not mean that non-violent resisters will not suffer terribly. Gandhi's movement and King's movement accepted great suffering on the price of their freedom. But in the end, both prevailed because it became impossible to enforce repression against people who would not respond to it with violence. What is exactly mean non-violence? To answer this question Homes (1990) says-To answer this requires looking beyond a few specific acts on specific occasions; it requires considering how people would act under various kinds of circumstances, and why. Particularly relevant here are circumstances in which people are confronted with violence. Acharya Mahaprajna (1994), a great thinker of non-violence--says that the members of the family and friends do not normally fight with or torment one-another. Is it true non-violence? It certainly is not, for even the slightest case involving selfish interests explodes the relationship. Thus we must distinguish between what we have called practical non-violence and true spiritual non-violence. Practical non-violence is based on the principle of Utilitarianism. Under normal circumstances when we discover amity and fellow feeling among the members of the same family or community, or among neighbours, we are led to believe that there is plenty of non-violence in society, but once this principle of utilitarianism comes under strain, violence erupts. In fact, human interactions in general are non-violent. It is when confronted with self-interests, lawlessness, injustice, violence, threats or oppression then most people think violence is justified. Spiritual non-violence is based on the unity and equality of all soulssouls of all sentiments. Once we know that every living being is subject to pain and pleasure in the same manner as we and that therefore we must never inflict any pain on them, never oppress and exploit them, never rob them of their rights, we are on our way to realizing the meaning of spiritual tulasI prajJA julAI-sitambara, 2008 37 Page #44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ non-violence. We must see both the aspects--the practical as well as the spiritual. The former is responsible for our laying the blame for everything on some one's door. While the other is as Gandhi (1964), says-It is uttermost selflessness--a complete freedom from a regard for one's body.. Gandhi says--Complete non-violence is complete absence of ill will against all lives. It therefore embraces even sub-human life not excluding noxious insects or beasts. Non-violence is therefore in its active form goodwill towards all life. Thus non-violence rests on a belief on the fundamental unity of all life. Tendulkar (1953), says, "I subscribe to the belief or philosophy that all life in its essence is one and that the humans are working consciously or unconsciously toward the realization of that identity." In its full sense, says Nagler (1986), non-violence could be defined as "that force or principle which causes increasingly to motivate a human being as he or she transform the desire to injure others into its positive counterpart." Assessing Non-violence's Effectiveness (Does Non-violence Work?) Whether or to what degree non-violence was actually present in a given act, word or thought is more complex than is usually recognized, this being a matter in which, for one thing, intentions are primary (Naess, 1974). To ask whether anything works requires specifying what it is intended to achieve. In the case of non-violence, the goal may be differently defined, depending on whether one thinks of non-violence merely as a tactic or as a philosophy or way of life. Considered simply as a tactic, non-violence sometimes works and sometimes does not-same as violence. But it would be naive to suppose that the renunciation of violence automatically puts one in a privileged position with regard to the attainment of one's end. Secondly, use of non-violence is more moral than violence. Reinhold Niebuhr, a critic of non-violence, has pointed out non-violent actions can cause harm or suffering as much as violent actions. For example, strikes or boycotts can cause severe hardship. Such 'covert violence'as Niebuhr called it, has a questionable claim to moral superiority over violence. Even Gandhi acknowledged that sometimes destructions of people's properties might harm them more than violence against them personally. 38 0 - Trot Tsi Bich 140 Page #45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ This conclusion is unwarranted. Make shift military resistance against overwhelmingly, superior forces has failed repeatedly. Does this "prove" that military defense will not work? No advocate of military defense would accept such an argument. Yet it is commonly assumed that any defeat for non-violence disproves the case for all non-violence. This is an error. There has been no real test of civilian based resistance. The debate should not be about whether non-violent resistance could have stopped Hitler, but about why there was a Hitler at all. Once an aggressor like Hitler comes to power with a large military force at his disposal, the situation is already lost. Neither violent nor non-violent resistance is guaranteed to succeed. The time to defeat him was before he came to power. Now we should consider the effectiveness of non-violence as a matter of principle. This requires specifying what ends or objectives non-violence sets for itself. Principled non-violence will normally have more basic ends in addition to such shorter-range objectives as in non-violence considered merely as a tactic. Robert L. Holmes says, for example, one of the ends of nonviolence is always to show respect for one's opponent in conflict situation. One may succeed in doing this independently of whether one succeed in achieving whatever the social or political objective one may have. Or if one of its aims is not to add to the amount of violence in the world, that too is achievable apart from success or failure at accomplishing other ends. If one thinks of non-violence as a way of life, then it works to the extent that one lives non-violently and infuses everyday conduct with a non-violent spirit. If we act non-violently, considerately, and respectfully; non-violence in this sense cannot fail to work if we resolve to see that it works. Non-violence not only works but it works better than violence. Few (Sorel) advocate violence as a tactic but they never advocate violence as a mater of principle or as a way of life. They advocate it only as a last resort, in circumstances in which they believe nothing else will achieve their objectives and even then only when those objectives are unusually important. Two common myths arises directly from the inability to conceptualize non-violence as an active force (tactic) in its own right-- (a) Non-violence is passive; it is offered best by the meek, tulasI prajJA julAI-sitambara, 2008 39 Page #46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ (b) It is only effective against weak opposition: "It would never have worked against the Nazis." Both are controverted by the single figure of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan. Khan raised a non-violent 'army of fierce Pathans who renounced a centuries old tradition of retaliation and turned their phenomenal courage instead to the patient bearing up under savage oppression from British military authorities-an oppression fully equal to Nazi determination and savagery For that matter, limited, cultivated non-violence worked very well against the Nazis themselves and against the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 (Sharp, 1985). Success in Non-violence The most widespread criticism of non-violent philosophy is that it has hardly any success, that is to say, it is ineffective and utopian. It is commonly suggested that Gandhi and, to a lesser extent, Martin Luther King, Jr., succeeded with their non-violent campaigns only because they were dealing with civilized oppressors or, in the case of king, a country in which the basic law and social consensus favoured them. Critics of non-violence also suggest that because non-violent strategies often depend on influencing public opinion, non-violence is some how a failure. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gandhi's non-violent campaign succeeded despite British civilization. The British record, particularly in the 19th century, had been as bloody and racist as that of most other nations, save Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia. In repressing a Moslem revolt, British troops slaughtered ten thousand Dervishes at Omdurman (1896) (Morehead, 1960). British troops had repressed violent rebellions in India with heavy casualties for the rebels. They showed with compunction about fixing into crowds of unarmed Indian civilians during Gandhi's campaign. Thus the suggestion that the British were specially civilized, while flattering to the British, is unsupported by the facts. So, too, with King's campaign, which while its aims were for more limited, encountered entrenched and violent opposition that led is beatings, jailings and even death for non-violent resisters. Nor did the social consensus favour King's campaign. Though his name is remembered now with a holiday, Martin Luther King, Jr., was considered by many to be a dangerous radical 40 a grant un Bid 140 Page #47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ while he was alive and was harassed by the FBI. His support among the general population was by no means widespread, and racism in various forms persists in the United States today. King's campaign succeeded because of the power of non-violence and the steadfastness of its resistance, not because he reflected an existing consensus. The argument that non-violence somehow does not work if it seeks to change public opinion is unworthy of extensive comment. It is perfectly true that Gandhi tried to influence British public opinion and that King sought to change American public opinion. This was an effective and non-violent way of achieving their goals. When a military force uses similar tactics it is called "Psychological Warfare", and is considered a respectable tactic even though it seldom works. The ability of non-violent movements to change public hearts and minds is in fact one of their strengths. It is hardly surprising that a military force generally fails to influence enemy public opinion, while a non-violent movement succeeds more frequently than not. By changing the hearts and minds of people in Britain, Gandhi gained independence. King made major gains for civil rights in the same way. These results hardly show that non-violence fails; they are instead one of the enduring strengths of non-violent action. Non-violence & Peace Peace research today has reached a consensus that the opposite of peace is not war, but violence (Schneider, 1973). It would follow that nonviolence, would in some way be identical to peace. In the frame of references which embraces positive nonviolence the individual man, woman, or child is the focus of value, and the locus of responsibility and in fact power: nonviolence fulfills Kant's law that the human being should never be treated as a means but as an end in him--or herself. All conflict-limiting mechanisms such as international law, formal and informal diplomacy, transnational solidarity, and the United Nations are based on at least non-violent principles. There is a specific development of note, however, for which some historical experience has accumulated, and a considerable bibliography; this is generally known as alternative defense (Sharp, 1985). The two great advantages of alternative defense over military resistance (besides the obvious saving of life Torit 1911 ocas-farar, 2008 C - 41 Page #48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ and property) are that it cannot be misinterpreted as a potential offense--if provides a "pure" defence that does not provoke escalation and that it can be prepared without compromising the democratic institutions of the defending society, as to some extent the creation of military elite and abdication of security responsibilities to such an elite inevitably do. Since war ultimately arises from conflicts at the intra-social, interpersonal, or even intra-personal levels, or some combinations of these, and since nonviolence acts to resolve conflicts creatively at all those levels it is the most powerful and perhaps least explored resource in the world today for security and peace.
