"In the beginning with the pronunciation of the word ahinsa came the inspiration of taking into account different perspectives. So thought of addressing them for better understanding. Their detailed description was necessary to acknowledge the messy realities we often come across where absolute non-violence may not always be feasible. Considering diverse viewpoints fosters better understanding of our perspective, let Me now ponder My thoughts about how ahinsa reflects when KNOWLEDGE is realized. Whether the attitude of ahinsa (non violence) is deeply absorbed or inculcated in the WISE is reflected by his behaviour just like purity of gold is determined by subjecting it to tests. Let Me have your attention for now I illustrate how ahinsa is born from the confluence of KNOWLEDGE and the mind. Without causing even a ripple, without breaking the waves, without disturbing water with unwavering single minded focus, swiftly yet delicately just like the heron steps into water carefully, or a honeybee enters the lotus flower delicately ensuring that the pollen underneath are not crushed. Walking lightly with mindfulness and compassion, taking into consideration that there are microscopic organisms even on the minutest speck. The path of the WISE is thus full of grace and wherever he sees, that direction becomes love manifested. Such careful walking cannot be expressed in words and is beyond measure. There is willingness to give your life to protect another. Cats are known for their ability to carry their kittens in their mouths without causing harm. When mother awaits her child, her gaze emanates softness full of tender, unconditional love. Swaying a tender lotus flower near the eyes, just like the soft fragrant air delicately touches the iris. With similar softness he walks. Where his feet touch the ground, it gives bliss to the beings living there. Walking softly like this if he comes across an insect, he pulls away. Assuming that the noise of his footsteps may interrupt Lord's peaceful sleep, he goes back. Do not crush the insect under his feet. When the WISE doesn't trample even the grass, he taking no cognizance of any living being is out of question. Just like an ant cannot cross the Meru mountain, or a fly cannot swim across the ocean, similarly the WISE do not step over any creature he comes across. The WISE whose walking is Grace come to fruition, his speech is kindness manifested. His words are a direct reflection and expression of his inner compassion and empathy. His breathing is soft, calming, his demeanor a maternal home of love evoking feelings of belonging and comfort. His row of teeth are as beautiful as sprouts of sweetness. Just like strong affection inspires heartfelt communication, the Grace manifests first followed by the words. A discerning person chooses their words thoughtfully and understands the power of restraint. This idea does not necessarily mean the WISE is always quiet, but that they know when speaking adds value and when silence is more appropriate. The words of the WISE are described as bringing healing, health, and life, serving to build up others rather than tearing them down. A gentle answer is seen as a way to turn away wrath and calm a situation, while a harsh word only stirs up anger and makes conflicts worse. Even when he talks a lot, words of the WISE are inherently constructive and do not aim to hurt; they aim to help and heal. Who knows by his speech something in making would abort before fruition, someone may feel fear, may jolt someone, or feel it dishonorable. And so to avoid this, to avoid wrath and to avoid trouble of any kind to anyone, the WISE mostly stays silent. However after an earnest request when he speaks, it is full of deep, heartfelt emotion, showing genuine care, compassion, or warmth just like parents to their children. The sound of their speech is like the Divine Resonance, sound of the universe. It's flow is as surging as waters of Holy Ganga, and full of substance like a wife continuing her devotion to her husband even after she gets old. Their only few yet soft meaningful words are but the ripples of the divine nectar Amrut."
