Ahimsa Mimamsa These two forms of violence is simple and understandable. The achiever should always try to be saved from Bhav violence. This Bhav violence can be avoided while controlling Kashyas. At that time Dravya violence is not more harmful to them NON-VIOLENCE AT SOCIAL LEVEL:
It is better to understand earlier about society and social life while thinking at social level, for non-violence. The society is made up of single-single person. That is called human multitudes, which gradually takes the shape of society.
Basically, all the manushya-human of the world is one. Any country, nation, caste, creed can not break the original unity of the mankind. Earlier, we have thought over, individual possible, non-violence. Individual can attain the ideology of total non-violence while remaining away from Sangh and Society. But such total non-violence will remain confine to rare achiever, may be impossible for the society and common person. The principal question here is that is it possible to create social life totally based on non-violent ideology ? Is it possible to construct total non-violent society ? A detailed discussion is required on this subject.
It is very much true that in absence of non-violent vitality imagination of the society is impossible. The existance of society depends upon the confidence between the persons, the relation of love-affection co-operation, in other words, based on non-violence. Because Violence means hatredness, spite, attacking nature, cruelty etc; as long as such tendencies prevailed in the person the social awareness will be extinguished, disappeared and the form of the society will be halted. Nonviolence and society are co-related and inter dependent in this manner. If we believe the man is social animal, it may be proved that for man-social animal, non-violence is naturat. The existence of society, thus, based on the walls of non-violence.
