Only the ordinary people think that Ahimsa is not to hurt any living being physically.

This is but the gross form of Ahimsa. The vow of Ahimsa is broken even by showing contempt towards another man,

by entertaining unreasonable dislike for or prejudice towards anybody, by frowning at another man,

by hating another man, by abusing another man, by speaking ill of others, by backbiting or vilifying,

by harbouring thoughts of hatred, by uttering lies, or by ruining another man in any way whatsoever.

All harsh and rude speech is Himsa (violence or injury). Using harsh words to beggars, servants or

inferiors is Himsa. Wounding the feelings of others by gesture, expression, tone of voice and unkind

words is also Himsa. Slighting or showing deliberate discourtesy to a person before others is wanton Himsa.

To approve of another's harsh actions is indirect Himsa. To fail to relieve another's pain, or even to

neglect to go to the person in distress is a sort of Himsa. It is the sin of omission. Avoid strictly all

forms of harshness, direct or indirect, positive or negative, immediate or delayed. Practice Ahimsa in

its purest form and become divine. Ahimsa and Divinity are one.
