No Eating Meat, Fish & Eggs, No Gambling, Intoxication & Illicit Sex...Part IX

Rules for Spiritual & Moral living. Whoever wants to admit or not, those are the rules for Non-Violent, Successful & Wonderful Existance...

T.: Is there a connection between nonviolent communication and usage of four regulative principles

1. No Eating of meat, fish and eggs

2. No Gambling

3. No Intoxication

4. No Illicit relationships ?

G.: Following this four regulative principles gives space for the person to make decisions which are on the line with spiritual goals. Breaking this principles takes power from the four pillars of religion: compassion, austerity, truthfulness, and purity which are very important for spiritual practitioner. Common men might not agree to follow this rules because of difference in goals.

In the same way a spiritual perspective of nonviolence is also on a frequency of the soul and says that to be non-violent in the highest spiritual sense is to give person a knowledge about the soul and God.

All of these four activities mentioned above are preventing a person to absorb in this knowledge of the soul. Thus it brings people on the level of gratifying the senses as the prime goal of life, which is available in all species of life.

Beside that there is obvious violence in this activities:

1. Killing animals is obviously violent and supports the culture of violence. It is violent also because we deny our responsibility for the unnecessary pain we give to animals and denial of responsibility is a great obstacle in communication.

2. Gambling disrespects honest work and gives a message that you can get something for nothing. We all know about the violent effects of addiction to gambling for the family life and other relationships.

3. Most of intoxication is very much violent to the body and mind. Addiction to intoxication is next level which very often results in different ways of additional violence.

4. The ways illicit sex is violent to the relationships is more then known. Just read the daily newspapers and see the results.

Real nonviolence which has high aim will certainly avoid this four activities.
