________________
Positive non-violence is a sacred pursuit. Therefore, in it, the importance is that of renouncing own mundane pleasures and passiongenerated enjoyments. Hence, positive non-violence includes only those activities that melt and reduce the feelings of attachment, aversion, possessiveness, and pride. Besides such noble activities, there may be other activities that may appear to be noble but if they result in increase in the feelings of attachment, aversion, passions, etc., they cannot be included amongst activities of positive non-violence. The spiritual aspirant must always remember this and pursue positive non-violence accordingly.
