If I am awakened within myself, vigilant and conscious, then my conduct is 'non-violent.

If I am established within myself, steady-minded and drowned in God, then my movement on the circumference of life is 'nonviolence'.

Non-violence is the manifestation of the awakened mind on the surface of the world.

Non-violence is the spread of happiness from a consciousness which is established in bliss. As light spreads from a lamp, similarly non-violence spreads from the consciousness which has attained bliss. That light is not for the sake of somebody; that is natural and auto-matic; that is the nature of bliss.
