Non-Violence

 

Non-violence is the ultimate dharma is a very popular saying.

Normally, we apply this to actions such as wars, killing animals,

hunting etc. Strangely, we do not apply it to our day to day life.

True, killings are violent acts. Violence need not be always in the

form of killing. Causing minor injuries is also violence. Hurting in

any manner is violence. e.g. harassing our subordinate in our office

with a load of work beyond his capabilities is an unjust and

therefore a violent act.

 

When such things take place in our own life, we do not see even a

shadow of the question mark. We believe that our actions do not fall

within the definition of violence. We simply assume that we know

many things for sure and forge ahead blindly. This is indeed the

cause for many emotional conflicts in life. When we understand what

constitutes violence, we can comprehend what non-violence is. We

will then be able to reap the benefits of observing non-violence.

 

Hatred is violence, love is non-violence. When the feeling of hatred

resides in the heart in any form - words, actions or thoughts, it

amounts to violence. Sometimes hatred does not even manifest in the

form of speech. It assumes the form of emotional vibrations.

 

To avoid all kinds of ill thoughts let us meditate on Baba and pray.

 

" May all of us live happily. May us all be healthy.

 

May auspiciousness shower on us all. May not a single being be

unhappy "

 

This is an emotional prayer. It is directly opposite to mental

violence. In other words, it emanates from a heart that is devoid of

hatred and is filled with love. Violence, which has its root in

hatred bears the fruit, called sin. Conversely, non-violence, which

comes out of love, bears the fruit called merit.

 

If we harm someone out of hatred, he will suffer immediately. We

will pay for it later. If we do good to someone out of love, he will

enjoy instantaneously. We will reap the benefit later. The seed that

we have sown now will take some time to sprout, grow in to a big

tree and bear fruits. But we can not imagine how many fruits and

seeds will come out of the tree, for which we have sown the seed. We

will have to reap it all. We can not escape it.

 

Baba Said

 

" God is the sole Proprietor, nobody else is our protector " .

 

Let us pray Shri Sai to give us the intellect and wisdom to make

tomorrow's world a happier place to stay by following his principle

of " Shraddha " and " Saburi "

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to

whom so ever you meet.

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of

Bhagwan Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all,

to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him
