2. One harms oneself and stops one’s own spiritual growth
Because one DOES direct or indirect HINSA (VIOLENCE)
May be unknowingly, but
one does, gets it done or passively supports HINSA
And It is this HINSA ,(though done very much unknowingly)
That prevents one‟s growth….
Putting your hand in fire,
(even when done UNKNOWINGLY) is sure to burn you
Stops one from growing spiritually ….

Are you willing for the whole universe to work against you?
12. IN DIRECT – HINSA : “SUPPORTED BY YOU”
(KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY)
When you „see‟ or „witness‟ some one else doing hinsa by
( thought / word / deed ) and you support it by your inaction,
keeping quiet or even turning a blind eye at it,
its ANUMODAN - Hinsa with your support
And it is treated by NATURE as Hinsa by you.

The most effective solution is praying for strength to make a difference, or
a genuine prayer for universal / impersonal peace and harmony FOR ALL.

The most lethal type of hinsa. .. Concealed by cunningness of being practical.
Do you experience it? If yes, BEWARE……. BE AWARE

www.growthmirror.in
4 Purusharth – Right Efforts
and feeling
17. Sankalp – Firm resolve
Take a firm resolve of NOT doing or SUPPORTING hinsa in any form.
More often than not, we end up doing hinsa because importance of
ahinsa is only at information level for us. Not at conviction level
based on actual experience…
Lets take up firm commitment to practice established importance of
ahinsa, based on instructions by ALL ancient wise seers & our own
strong commitment towards our own spiritual development . . .
Lets commit to say NO to HINSA
from THIS VERY MOMENT ONWARDS…
A firm resolve is the first step.
STEP 1 : SANKALP
www.growthmirror.in
18. Jagratta – VIGILANT Awareness
STEP 2 : JAGRATTA
www.growthmirror.in
Most of the time we DO or SUPPORT hinsa , because we live mechanically.
We mechanically REACT based on animal instincts, and not RESPOND based on
human values. Previous slides explaining hinsa in various form is to create right
awareness..
When tempted to do hinsa, Lets learn to ask ourselves,
“What will I get in return if I behave this way?”
“Am I so weak and impotent, that I can not practice GOODNESS?”
“Is there any other moral and fair manner to seek justice?”
“will it help me realize my spiritual goal?”
“will it make me a better human?”
“will this help me realize and/or maintain peace?”
Vigilance is to be practiced at all time….
Will you like doing any wrong, when you are vigilant and aware about it‟s ill effects?
Lets be vigilant from this very moment onwards….
CLARITY and UNFLINCHING VIGILANCE and AWARENESS is the second step.
19. Repentance – this as a tool was instructed by all wise seers of all
faiths and religions. Only the names for the same tool were different.
www.growthmirror.in
STEP 3 : PRAYASCHIT
Acknowledging that wrong was done, and rightly seeking
forgiveness and correcting it‟s root at intent level is really a
very powerful tool to counter hinsa and create healthy
impressions of ahinsa.
Doing good to „cover‟ what was done „bad‟ is less effective
than actually ‘cleaning’ and/or ‘undoing’ what was done
bad/wrong…
Call it confession, pain cause contemplation, penance or pratikraman..
All faiths and systems instructs us to practice it..
Lets start practicing it from today onwards…daily…
PRAYASCHIT is the third step..
20. Purushartha – Right actions / deeds that will lead you to
your spiritual goal.
www.growthmirror.in
STEP 4 : PURUSHARTH
Every person has duty to work towards his/her salvation. Finding true
meaning of self and progressing towards self realization is PURUSHARTH.
The way to self mastery is never on someone else‟s shoulder and never coloured
with blood and violence.
Practice kindness, compassion, love and spread real joy –
with these noble responses - replace mechanical negative reactions
like anger, hatred, jealously . ..
Be proactive in being positive and helping others…
Its positive and right actions/ karma that are needed to fill our lives so much,
that there is no space for negativity…
Lets do PURUSHARTH from this very moment onwards…
And its this right effort – Purusharth. That is the forth step to be firmly rooted
in practice of ahinsa…
