Acharya Tulsi
 | Chapter 4 | Kaivalya (Omniscience) And The Bhagavan's Sermons |
hagavan Mahavira preached non-violence and said:
- Don't kill any living being.
- Don't cause pain to anybody.
- Don't impose yourself on anybody.
- Don't bind and enslave anybody.
This is the religion of ahimsa.
It is the Eternal Religion.
The following are the constituents of the Religion of Equalitarianism:
- Don't be afraid of anybody, nor terrorise anybody.
- Don't consider yourself nor others to be wretched.
- Don't cherish hatred towards anybody.
- Don't be sorry if you do not get what you have desired and don't be joyous if you get it.
- Don't be elated in your happiness and dejected in your misery.
- Don't be attached to life nor be afraid of death.
- Don't be puffed up by flattery nor be upset by criticism.
- If you are honoured, don't be proud, and if you are insulted, don't feel belittled.
- Don't be disturbed by crises; remain spiritually composed in their midst.
- Ahimsa consists in an attitude of equanimity.
