Not To Inflict Unsustainable Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Not To Inflict Unsustainable



Do you like pain or sorrow to sustain?
If said yes, you lie; if said no, you lie not.
If said yes, can you inflict pain and sorrow
When it is unwarranted on your part?

‘Nothing that exists, possessing life,
Be destroyed or subjugated,
Harmed or denied of its existence.',
Said Mahavir in the Acaranga Sutra.
