Ahimsa (Non-violence)

The first yogic vow is Ahimsa or non-violence. It is the basic truth of life; basic understanding for humans to live together, Ahimsa has to be there in order to support life. Ahimsa is the first and ultimate law of the cosmos (dharma), non-violence is the ultimate shield and strategy, the best example to illustrate that is; e.g.: Putting oil (oil being Ahimsa) on your hands before cutting open a jack fruit to make sure that the sticky milk of the jack fruit won’t stick to your hands.

Understanding the context is crucial and we have to always remember that the context is an independent intelligence. If you understand this truth you won’t enter the space of violence and whenever you face troublesome situations being able to respond to the situation with non violence will allow you to easily find the way send the enemy’s weapon back to them, you will have the simple intelligence to find the solution effortlessly without creating further problems.

This whole world is a mirror, the way you understand and respond to the context, in a similar way the context will respond to you. The context isn’t a dead word it is an independent living intelligence like you, feeling that you are separate and more powerful than the context is Ego. When you understand this concept you will not feel that the world is torturing you, harassing you or making you suffer. If you feel that the context is harassing you, be very clear it is you who is harassing the context with the violence that you carry inside you and because you do that you create violence and then you justify your violence by blaming the context.

To be in completely integrated with life is Ahimsa, when your inner chatting, the words you utter to yourself and others and your actions are aligned you are established in integrity, only then can you experience Ahimsa.

You are responsible for the violence that you live, the violence seen outside is nothing else than the materialized violence that you carry inside. But the good news is, since your are responsible for your inner violence that also means that you are empowered with the possibility of getting rid of this violence and then establishing yourself in Ahimsa.

Bringing non-violence to your inner space you will automatically enrich the people around you in many different ways.
