________________ Violence in the context.... 145 the power of truth of Sudarshan made itself feel explicit, the same Sudarshan prevented the murder of that queen at the hands of the king. After getting a violent mouth swallow non-violence neatly and after being victorious, having put up an opposition with love, the strong antagonist, and then to honour the enemy with a garland of victory, spreading love should be construed as a grand success of non-violence. Today, in the whole world, the trumpets of war are heard on all sides, because of the ardent desire for power and land, as well as terrorism and religious fundamentalism, deep thinking about truth, justice, morality and prudence is necessary. To substantiate truth and to resist injustice, the wise and thoughtful male persons accept battles only as the last and final step. To mankind which longs for peace and not wars, such intellectual and wise Buddhas who can prevent wars, are needed. Each and every human being must fight the ‘Kali' snake of eightfold Karmas, defeat it and this sentiments be pure is the only thing which would bring the best and the ultimate happiness.
