किन्तु अहिंसा में कोई ऐसा खतरा नहीं है। एक बार प्राप्त होने के पश्चात् उसका विनाश नहीं होता। इस आशय के 卐 को व्यक्त करने के लिए शास्त्रकार ने कहा है-'एत्तो विसिद्रुतरिया अहिंसा' अर्थात् अहिंसा इन सब उपमाभूत वस्तुओं से भी अत्यन्त विशिष्ट है।
Elaboration-A person is very much frightened. He senses fear all around. He shall feel extremely happy if he finds a place where he can be fearless. Non-violence provides similar support to all the living beings.
A bird flying in the air has many lurking doubts in its mind when it 4 comes on earth. It starts flying away from the earth leaving that place when it feels the possibility of the slightest trouble. Sky is the place of
fearless state and the area of freedom for it. Non-violence also is a place 4i where one can remain without any fear.
In case a person troubled due to thirst gets water and a hungry person gets food, his trouble and restlessness arising out of it disappears. 4 He experiences peace similarly in non-violence, which provides unique
peace. Just as a ship saves the life-force of a drowning person, similarly non-violence protects the living beings drowning in the worldly ocean of life, death and re-birth. Quadruped, experience freedom from fear when they reach the cowshed. Similarly non-violence is such as place where one experiences freedom from fear.
Just as it is troublesome to move alone in wilderness and in dreadful forest full of ferocious violent beasts. That fear no longer persists if one is in the company of a group. Similarly one does not have fear if he is in the company of non-violence.
After narrating these comparative examples, it is mentioned in the scriptures that these synonyms do not completely indicate all the qualities. In brief, such things which treat pain or fear cannot remove the same forever. They cannot provide protection forever. Sometimes even food or medicine become the cause of trouble. But there is no such danger in non-violence. Once attained it never dies down. To describe it
the writer has mentioned that non-violence is by far the best even as $ compared to these illustrations. अहिंसा के विशुद्ध दृष्टा और आराधक TRUE PRACTITIONERS OF NON-VIOLENCE
१०९. एसा भगवई अहिंसा जा सा अपरिमिय-णाणदंसणधरेहिं सील-गुण-विणय-तव-संयमणायगेहिं तित्थयरेहिं सव्वजगजीववच्छलेहिं तिलोयमहिएहिं जिणवरेहिं (जिणचंदेहिं) सुठुदिट्ठा। .
