Non-violence

*There is a truth in Ahimsa, there is a truth in destruction also. I do not teach that you should go on killing everybody everyday as a spiritual dharma. I say that destruction can be done when it is a part of the divine work commanded by the Divine. Non-violence is better than violence as a rule, and still sometimes violence may be the right thing. I consider dharma as relative: unity with the Divine and action from the Divine Will, the highest way. ..
