The pure by faith mean pain to none
Though princely wealth by that is won.
The spotless hearts seek not revenge
Though Malice does the worst in rage.
Revenging even causeless hate
Bad-blood breeds and baneful heat.
Doing good-turns, put them to shame
Thus chide the evil who do harm.
What does a man from wisdom gain
If he pines not at other's pain?
What you feel as 'pain' to yourself
Do it not to the other-self.
Any, anywhere injure not
At any time even in thought.
How can he injure other souls
Who in his life injury feels.
Harm others in the forenoon
Harm seeks thee in afternoon.
No harm is done by peace-lovers
For pains rebound on pain-givers.
NON VIOLENCE
