Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
You simply understand that here including you, everything just exists, be it
happiness - sorrows or vice - virtues. Then rather than favouring one, why don't
you just enjoy watching the show?
In Jain scriptures, the only complete man in the history of the world "Krishna"
is also placed in hell. To the extent that even Buddha, who has enlightened the
whole world has been mentioned by the Jain monks as the one initiated by
"Mahavira". Isn't it the height of their insecurity and inferiority?
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But
surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future
to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much
against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
The success of our endeavours does not depend on the quantum of efforts, but
the state of mind engaged...at the time of pursuing the task.

does not know that what he is doing, is wrong.
In this universe sun, air, water, all are busy performing their functions, but have
no aspirations. Nothing to gain. When we will also learn to engage ourselves
in endeavours without any ambition or expectation, we will reach the ultimate
height of satisfaction.
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
