TULSI-PRAJNĀ.
for armaments; it is leading him to schizophrenia; and these open up the possibility of annihilation of man. Man is now challenging the whole de-humanizing process, the total violence in human mind. He is keen to shed fear, search for security and violence in the mind.
Non-violence implies that man would never surrender his serse of human unity and brotherhood even in the midst of conflict of interests, who would ever try to convert and not coerce his adversary. This write up presents a depth probe into "non-violence of the weak” and “Nonviolence of the brave", so that this understanding may enable man to transform himself, to undertake the journey from violence to non-violence of the mind.
Evolutionary Rise of Violent Man ; Man has an evolutionary risc. Ho transferred the animal instincts to his psychological level. Man's evolution is not biological but psychosocial, it implies dominant patterns of thought organization. He has trained the mind in one groove. He records all events or challenges in the external field as sensual perception; he recalls the past memory which interacts with the challenge; the interaction transforms the challenge to modified memory; and he is aware of his modified memory or perceptual-conceptual perception or reaction. He constantly reacts to the outer environments/ challenges. The reaction is violence to human mind because this mode of functioning is unnatural. All thought patterns basically mean violence in human mind at thought, word and action levels. All psychological struct. ures express themselves as violence. J. Krishnamurti concludes, “We have built a society which is violent and we, as human beings, are violent...... Throughout existence, human beings have been violent and are violent,''s We have accumulated violence--cultured violence, self protective violence, the violence of competition, the violence of trying to be somebody, and so on. Technologically, man has advanced incredibly; but technology has added to the violence of the mind.
