“Ahimsa is as relevant today, particularly to our inner well-being, as it was to Gandhi or during his time. Ahimsa is not about non-violent action. It is about non-violent thought in the first place.

Just stopping to curse errant people on the street is a good starting point to embracing ahimsa. Practice it. It works big time!”
