" Kabir's home is in the market, near the throat cutters:

Tulsidas immediately realized that all his spiritual knowledge until now had been in vain and he was humbled.

One should learn to face the world like Kabir. Violence of all forms is rampant all around us and has been happening from time immemorial. Even Lord Ramachandra's servants ate meat; they were all Kshatriyas and eating meat was a natural practice for them. Our intent must remain non-violent.

You should maintain this non-violent intent and not become swayed by the mentality of the violent people, because they create conflict due to misunderstanding. That is why nothing gets resolved and more harm is done. One can only enforce ahimsa against animals if one's ruler or government has the same view and decrees that people observe vegetarianism on certain days. At the present time you do not have any power over the matter and furthermore, no one is asking you to actively enforce ahimsa. No one dies in the eyes of the Lord. You should just go about minding your own business and encourage non-violence. Do not harbor any negative feelings.

# The Highest Ahimsa

Instead of worrying about saving the lives, you just maintain the inner intent not to hurt any living being to the slightest extent. This hurt should not be caused through the mind, through the speech and through any acts. There is no greater ahimsa than this. With such an intent and awareness, should you accidentally hurt any life form, it is vyavasthit (scientific circumstantial evidence).
