________________ Dr. Navin C. Mehta, FACS, PC Dr Rashmi Mehta Suniti, Niray, Sneha 303 2nd Ave., Suite 10 "Rutherford" New York, NY 10003 212-505-9640 Fax: 212-473-1355 Ahimsa is impossible without fearlessness the religion of non-violenceis not meant merely for the rishis and saints. It is meant for the common people as well. Non-violence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute. The spirit lies dormant in the brute and he knows no law but that of physical might. The dignity of man requires obedience to a higher law-to the strength of the spirit For the way of non-violence and truth is sharp as the razor's edge. Its practice is more than our daily food. Rightly taken food sustains the body rightly practised non-violence sustains the soul. Without ahimsa it is not possible to seek and find truth. Ahimsa and Truth are so intertwined that it is practically impossible to disentangle and separate them. They are like the two sides of a coin, or rather of a smooth, instamped, metallic disc. Who can say which is the obverse, and which is the reverse? Nevertheless ahimsa is the means, Truth is the end. The path of true non-violence requires much more courage than violence.
