Innumerable are the names of God; but if a choice were to be made of one, it would be Sat or Satya, that is, Truth. Hence verily Truth is God.

Realization of Truth is not at all possible without ahimsa. That is why it has been said that ahimsa is the supreme dharma.

The quest of truth and the observance of non-violence are impossible without brahmacharya, non-stealing, non-possession, fearlessness, equal respect for all religions, removal of untouchability and the like.

Brahmacharya here means control over the sense-organsﾗin thought, word and deed. One who, while remaining bodily chaste, is impure at heart shall not be deemed a true brahmachari.

Non-stealing does not mean mere abstention from theft. To keep or take what one does not need is also stealing. And of course stealing is fraught with violence.

Non-possession means that we should not hoard anything that we do not need today.

Fearlessness should connote absence of all kinds of fearﾗfear of death, fear of bodily injury, fear of hunger, fear of insult, fear of public disapprobation, fear of ghosts and evil spirits, fear of anyone's anger. Freedom from all these and such other fe

Let us respect other religions even as we respect our own. Mere tolerance thereof is not enough.

Removal of untouchability means not merely touching the Harijans, but also looking upon them as our own kith and kin; in other words, treating them in the same way as we would our own brothers and sisters. None is high, none low.

Yogah Chittavrittinirodhah ﾗThis is the first aphorism of Patanjali's Yoga Darshan. Yoga is controlling the activities of the mind. Restraining the surging passions, suppressing them, that is yoga.
