important. As said earlier, an act coupled with wisdom and good behaviour is not a violence.
The word non-violence is prohibitory. A non-violence means ( A= No and Himsa = killing.) But constructive motives and several actions are basically incorporated in its roots. Which has strong relationship with modern environmental.
Non-violence is the essence of pity, friendship, compassion, equality and patient. Non-violence is therefore termed as well-wisher mother of entire living animals in Jain scriptures. Lord Mahavira, hence, called non-violence a Bhagwati mata or Goddess mother.
VIOLENCE DOES NOT OCCUR, HAPPENS :
We observed earlier that non-violence is natural general religion of the human being. Hence the human being has to induced and cultivate the tendency of violence. Without withholding the sensation, violence cannot be performed. There are three types of such violence.
(1) Violence done
(2) Violence has to be done (3) Violence happens
The form of violence which automatically happens, is not counted as violence because there is absence of determination of violence. Here exists carefulness and activeness for the safe guarding of violence. As observed earlier, where there is no intention of violence, restraints and wisdom are present, that violence is not included in the field of violence.
(2) Violence has to be performed-it is a type of industrial and Arambhi, as seen earlier. A violence which occurs during daily routine work and bodily exercising work that is, violence has to be done. Here, an intension of violence is present because of dependency, considering business and industry.
