"A non-religious person when awaken would make others sleep.
Therefore, his sleeping is good.
A religious person when awaken will awaken others.
Therefore, his awakening is good."
Lord Mahavir
Only the one who has transcended fear can experience equanimity -Sutrakritäng
The Arhats and Bhagavats
(the worthy and venerable ones) of the past,
present, and future, all say thus, speak thus,
declare thus, explain thus:
All breathing, existing, living, sentient creatures should not beslain,
nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away
- Lord Mahävir
Ächäränga Sutra (Book 1, Lecture 4, Lesson 1)
