Non-violence is the highest duty. Even if it is for the sake of the life of the person, one should not commit an act of violence.
Mahabharata
Anushasana Parva
Meaning:
Ahimsa or non-violence is the foundation of all morality. It is not just about physical harm but also about avoiding harmful thoughts and words. Protecting life and minimizing suffering is the highest expression of the spirit.

Daily Application

Practice kindness in your interactions today. If you feel angry, choose to remain silent rather than speaking words that wound. Physical, verbal, and mental non-violence creates a field of peace around you.
