Ahimsa

The base word is 'Himsa', which means 'Harming', 'Disturbing', 'Destroying'. The prefix 'A' denotes 'Not'. Thus the word ' Ahimsa' means, 'Not harming', 'Not destroying', 'and Not disturbing'. But, Non-violence is not in merely talking heatedly and also sharing some group opinion about it. Thought, speech and action are the three dimensions, in which ' Ahimsa' (Non-violence) has to be alive and unhesitatingly work from moment-to-moment in one's life. Actually, much before physically assaulting, we destroy each other many a time, in our thought and speech level! The noisy ideology of non-violence must be sensitive to this fact.
