Compassionate action of Mahavir-swämi towards
Chandkaushik
Mahävir-swämi preached the message of compassion to all living beings. Chandkaushik peacefully retreated to his hole. There he spent the rest of his life in physical and mental peace. When he died he went to heaven. Peace and harmony in society comes from the feeling of love and equality of all living beings. This is Mahävir's concept of nonviolence. This is Mahävir's concept of forgiveness.
"Ahimsä is not merely non participation
in destructive activities; It principally manifests itself in constructive activities and service which leads to the upward growth
of man (any soul)." - Gicharya Vinoba Bhave
