It is you, to whom you wish to harrass It is you, to whom you pressurise. It is you, to whom you desire to annihilate.
While learning this a wise man never kills anyone's self or through some one, anybody.
Protect each and every soul. Protect from smallest to biggest soul. Every one likes life and dislikes death. Every body likes happiness while dislikes unhappiness. Therefore neither kill anyone nor beat anyone.
Mental violence is powerful compared to external violence. A human being struggles externally, fight externally, however one does not turn victorious even after defeating thousands of soldiers. According to Lord Mahavira, one who struggles with own soul, defeat the internal enemies which have covered the soul, one who defeats the enemies which are more dangerous than the external enemies he is triumphantant. External enemies only destroys the present birth (Bhav) while the internal enemies while destroying the virtues of soul annihilate several successive births, while deeply drowning into the ocean of passions (Kashayas). Hence Lord Mahavira proclaimed that to fight against internal enemies and achieve victory over them.
We hope that an essence and conception of Ahimsa (nonviolence) of Lord Mahavira may crop up in all of us.
