Gandhiji defined Ahimsa
As cultivating
Universal love;
A narrow outlook
Betrayed Ahimsa
Ahimsa is not about
Killing animals
Is it necessary to raise
Issues on killing animals?
What are our primary concerns?
Have we developed love
For dangerous reptiles?
What about the vipers
Residing in us,
Like anger and hatred?
What are we doing
To eradicate negative emotions?
But we dare to raise futile questions
On killing animals.
Are we not moving in a vicious circle?
One who desires to practice Ahimsa must
Forget about snakes or reptiles.
Let us overcome anger and hatred
Let us practise universal brotherhood!
Let us cultivate universal love!
The concept of 'Ahimsa' is neatly presented in this precise piece of work! ...Ahimsa is not about Killing animals/Is it necessary to raise/Issues on killing animals? .......A precious messaged is embodied in this brilliant piece of creation! Great!

Thank you for introducing me to Ahimsa. This is a very creative way of sharing his wisdom to everybody. At this time, when man is killing each other; what chances do animals have?
Thank you dear Loke for your very nice comment. I agree, what chances do the animals have?
