________________
AHIMSA
155 tinguished from mere professional regard, towards his patient. In other cases where conflicting mental states arise simultaneously, in connection with the doing of a harmful act, they tend to bear their respective consequences, which may be measured with reference to the degree of tenderness and the cruel impulse with which the mind may be characterised at the time.
Thus, no one who has studied the true nature of his soul and of the causes which tend to prolong its bondage would ever find fault with ahimsá being the true path of liberation and the highest dharma.
