Bhagwan Mahāvīra's Ahiṁsā and World Peace
59.
Not to kill is one good deed par excellence. Next to this comes the virtue of speaking truth.'
'Even though the happiness of heaven obtained by sacrifice be great, wise men despise it as worthless, because it is won by slaughter.'
These subilme thoughts of Saint Amitgati should illumine thinking soul, 'O my Lord, make myself such, that I may always have love for all living beings, pleasure in the company of the virtuous, sympathy for the afflicted and tolerance for those perversely inclined.'
