Self- control
Self- controling is best
The Bhagavad Gita says that anger causes loss of memory, loss of consciousness; it is like madness that leads to death. Isn’t it frightening? Let us help to make a world where everything and everyone is free, safe and respected. Let us all try and practice ahmisa (non-violence) in thoughts, words and actions.
We cannot control what others do or say but we can control our responses. Self- control is the basis of ahimsa or non-violence. When we lose control over ourselves, other begins to control us. Prophet Muhammad was in perfect control of him and could thus control the situation. He even said, `if any one attacks you, do not hit him back with anything heavier than a feather’ similarly Jesus Christ taught every one to turn the other cheek if someone struck them, to give them a cloak as well, if someone took away their tunic.
It is important to realize that violence includes gossip or telling lies about others, abusive language or theft.
We live in the country that introduced the concept of ahimsa to the world. Ahimsa means not causing pain or harm to any living creature, either by thought, word or deed. It is the development of an attitude. Non-violence can change the whole world, win hearts and turn enemies’ friends.
Have you noticed that violence is increasing among teenagers? Do you wonder why? Not every student takes to violence. Only those who have no clear aims and do not know what is good for them, fight or use abusive language. Students who are focused stay from wasteful activities. You cannot have violent habits and remain a good student. Those who use violence are losers, not gainers. Sometimes we blame others for our loss of control. Others may upset us but that does not mean that we have to become violent.
