Description

This episode is from Nicolai Bachman's The Path of the Yoga Sutras.  The first limb of the Eight-Limb Path of Yoga as explained in the Sutras are the Yama-s (ethical observances).  The Yama-s are further broken down into five categories, one of which is Ahimsa (nonviolence, compassion, non-harming). 

"It requires more courage to be nonviolent than to condone or participate in violence. "---Bachman. 

"To slight a single human being is to slight the divine powers within us, and thus harm not only that being but with him the whole world."---Gandhi.
