With conscientiousness in activities like walking, standing, sitting, sleeping, eating and speaking, one does not enter into bondage of evil Karmas.
- Dashavaikalika Sutra (4/8). I am absolutely convinced that peace means action — when necessary revolutionary, but non-violent. I recognize that a diseased situation can be brought nearer to health, and therefore nearer to peace, by other means too, but I know that violence, even when directed to good ends, still contains the seeds of death.
- Danilo Dolci. The human behaviour codes have been framed as per human potential, for the benefit of humanity, by humans alone. Only the lethargic can utter that these codes are unfathomable. How can any rational person accept these by considering them beyond his reach?
- Dvatrinshika of Siddhasen (6/7) Do not do unto others what you yourselves dislike.
- Mahabharat of Vedavyas.
