________________ OF AHIMSA? Know other creatures love for life, for they are alike ye. Kill them not ; save their life from fear and enmity. All creatures desire to live, none to die. Hence to kill is to sin. A godly man does not kill. Therefore, kill not thy self, consciously or unconsciously, living organisms which move or move not, nor cause slaughter of them. Whosoever killeth creatures or causeth slaughter of them or approveth of slaughter increaseth enmity of others against himself. 18 Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Suratww.umaragyanbhandar.com
