 potter, who does a lot of violence when he fires his ware. It is all violence.

**Questioner:** Regardless of the kind of violence one does, whether it is charge violence (violent intent) or discharge violence (violence in action), is one not still held accountable for it?

**Dadashri:** Can you not see people suffering? They are constantly suffering the results of violence. There is nothing but suffering...

People in occupations that involve violence do not have any radiance on their faces and they appear unhappy. The farm hand toils and is unhappy because of the effects of his past life violence. His landlord appears happy as he does not have to toil and is enjoying the fruits of his merit karma. This has been the law of life, the law of karma all along. The process behind which one acquires the kind of work he does is a natural one. One could not run away from such a business even if he wanted to. If all parents of our nation thought, 'we do not want to send our son in the armed forces because he might get killed', then we would not have a defense force. Yet all nations have a defense force. This is the natural law. Nature is at work here and nature brings forth the results, so do not be concerned unnecessarily.
