amardeep Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Gurfateh cybersangat jio i once came across a beatiful bani by Guru Nanak where he redefines the concept of non-violence(ahimsa) into being a universal concept that does not only relate to animals, but also to ones fellow beings. I've tried to search on srigranth.org on non-violence but could not find it and my panjabi spelling really sucks so i would appreciate it if someone could find it for me. it goes something like The ahimsa of the tongue is never to slander anyone the ahimsa of the mind is never to think ill of any one the ahimsa of the eyes is never to look upon anothers wife etc its a really beaituful bani and i hope you will be able to help me find it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 on a site note i really like this bani because there is a tendency among veggie sikhs (i am a veggie myself) to praise one self for being so compassionate towards animals yet we dont stop to think about the way we treat our fellow human beings when we slander others, have ill thoughts and look down on others. We praise ourselves for being veggies and do not stop to think about how we treat the people around us. The shabad is an eye opener to what ahimsa really is about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
