to live together, lead a peaceful life and know-how to exchange their views to their mutual benefit. The intellactual progress follows the propagation of non-violence. The door of intellectual development would remain closed until the principle of non-violence is not accepted universally.
Non-violence is the sound, logical and cogent diagnosis to the diseases afflicting the modern age. It would imply balance and the vice-versa. The force of non-violence and violence would go hand in hand in the society. Community life can not emerge without nonviolence. Therefore we can not give up non-violence in any case.
In a human being there exist his own impressions of his past deeds (-) which spring up due to environmental circumstances and therefore violence is also not possible to be uprooted totally. So social life implies the existence of a stream following between non-violence and violence.
