________________
As improper thoughts, emotions and actions such as those of violence etc., whether they are done (indulged in), caused to be done or abetted, whether present in mild, medium or intense degree result in endless pain and ignorance; so there is the necessity of pondering over the opposites.
– Yogasutra of Patanjali
Battle with yourself! Of what use is fighting others? He who conquers himself by himself will win happiness.
- Uttaradhyayan Sutra
The solution of our problems cannot come from science; it can come only from man himself. As long as human beings are systematically trained to commit crimes against mankind, the mentality thus created can only lead to catastrophe again and again. Our only hope lies in refusing any action that may serve the preparation or purpose of war.
Be not overcome of evil
But overcome evil with good.
