| THE TWO WINGS OF DHARMA | |
|
|
|
| For
a responsible social action in the world that holds to spiritual
principles, both non-violence and non-appeasement must be practiced
together. The bird of Dharma and seva (right action and service) has
these two wings of non-violence and non-appeasement. Without both
wings it cannot fly.
As non-violence has not been correctly applied, the problems caused by it have made a policy of violence appear in a favorable light for some people. However, a policy of violence is not the answer to our human problems either. It is easy to fall into violence and its related passions. This only further enkindles the flames of hatred, which like a forest fire will respect no one. The true alternative is to apply non-violence in a way that is not destructive of the needs of all levels of society, including self-defense and the protection of life and property. |
