The scriptures describe ahimsa and brahmacharya as dharma. What is ahimsa? If some item is desired (by a sadhu) and he asks for it from a householder who cannot give it, then himsā has occurred because the householder feels helpless as he is unable to give. And when no object is required then ahimsa is observed, and when others are not troubled, that is ahimsa. And brahmacharya is observed when the eyes, ears, nose, hands, feet and other organs are controlled. And how can we attain a body like this with hands, feet and other senses. This body is a means to worshipping God and so it should not be wasted. One who uses it properly is wise, otherwise know him to be like an animal. Believe that this body will die at any moment now. And as this clock chimes, kāl (time) is consuming one’s lifespan. But this jiva has indeed forgotten. On this he cited, ‘Garbhavāsmā tu shu kahine āvyo re’1 and said, “Then afterwards, will a stick be taken up to beat the jiva?” The jiva believes that all this (suffering) will be on someone’s head. But, it does not know that (suffering) will be on its head. Gestation, birth and death, and the cycle of rebirth are all awaiting. Therefore, by this close association overcome these, then one becomes fearless. Footnotes: 1. 1. You have come out of the womb after promising many things to God. Essence: The jiva experiences misery in the womb and prays to God to free him from the misery. It promises to worship God and abide by his commands. God mercifully frees him from this misery but the jiva completely forgets his promise. Instead, the jiva remains occupied in enjoying the pleasures of the senses and providing for his family. He expends his lifespan this way without worshiping God. This has been narrated in the Kapil-Gita, the third skandh of the Bhagwat. Brahmanand Swami has written the essence in the form of a kirtan and Gunatitanand Swami recalls these words here. Kīrtan Garbhamāhī shu kahīne tu āvyo re, Garbhamāhī shu kahīne tu āvyo; Prāṇī te sankaṭ visarāvyo re. Garbha. ṭek Nīchu shīsh charaṇ tārā ūnchā, Dash mahinā laṭakāvyo re. Garbha. 1 Bār āvī rasiyo thaī ḍole, Kāmaniye bhulāvyo re. Garbha. 2 Sagā kuṭumbī sahu maḷīne, Moṭo kahīne bolāvyo re. Garbha. 3 Brahmānand kahe Hari bhajyā vinā, Eḷe janma gumāvyo re.
