00:00Mahavir was a great fighter, was he not?
00:02Just that he was fighting the evil inside.
00:05He said this body keeps clamoring for food, I'll fight it.
00:08His wailer is no less than that of the Sikh gurus who fought on the battlefield.
00:13Both are fighting the false.
00:15Both are fighting that which seeks to envelop and eclipse godliness.
00:21When hunger arises, you forget God, don't you?
00:24And when the enemy is overpowering you, then again you forget God.
00:27You just start seeking your own physical safety.
00:30Do you see what is violence then?
00:32To forget God, to forget the truth.
00:34What is non-violence?
00:35To fight that which makes you forget the truth.
