Ahimsa and Sathya

These two are not external to us- they are internal. To think there are external is a great mistake. Not to think evil, emanates from inside - not outside. Sathya is inside- a quality. Even when we are alone we need to follow these and hence these are inside us and not outside. That is why it is said that to live a life of truth is more important. It is important not to have violent thoughts and hence it is internal. Our thoughts guide our body- not the other way around.
