Page 39 - Ecstasy and Agony in the Journey to Infinity

12. అహంి స (Ahimsa)
This is the beginning of the development of Universal
Consciousness.
Ahimsa is a stage of development, which arises as we progress in spirituality and is consequent to the development of empathy and sympathy. Practicing non- injury, develops in us the qualities of sympathy and empathy. The picture in the game of life shows a Jain saint. Jains are the best example of expressing ahimsa and they close their mouth with a cloth lest any insect might enter and die in their mouth unwittingly.
Only when universal consciousness comes, ahimsa will also come. Only when Inferior type of super consciousness as mentioned by Pujya Babuji Maharaj comes then this quality also comes. It is superior consciousness but of an inferior variety. The qualities that come in it are Satya, Ahimsa, Asteya, Aparigraha and Brahmacharya. Only when we get these qualities, we can start talking about spirituality.
