'Ahimsa means Non-violence.' or 'Harmlessness"

Ahimsa the first and most important step in Yama. Ahimsa is the most essential quality for a yoga practioner/ a spiritual aspirant who is on the path.patanjali says one should not trouble or do violence against any beings.one should not kill the other beings for the sake of food.In today's world the majority of the people are eating non-vegetarian.People are killing the other living beings for the sake of meat like coat,cow,pig,fish and so on.This should be avoided.

In the ancient days the yogis or saints used to live in the forest and do their tapas/sadana.They all eat less and they all used to eat fruits and other vegetables that too not by plugging it from the trees/plants directly.They just pick these fruits from the ground which is fallen from the tree on its own and eat it.it seems they lived a life with higher awarness,by not disturbing any other being for the sake of their individul survival/living.They all very much keen every being and of our whole Ecology System.

Today we could see many violence is happening everywhere in the name of war, terrorist attacks and fundamentalisim etc.one can see the world today and its violence just by switch on any news cahnnels or news paper;without which the news seems to be incomplete.this is our today state of violence.People are not bothering to disturb or killing the fellow beings.Every where we can see this.you can not see a place in the world where the violence is no more or it is becoming a very rare thing.

In yoga sutras the practioner of yoga should not harm anyone byanymeans/ anyform.we all are highly responsible to eradicate the violence and make the world free from it.

To make this happen as a individuals,as a practioner one need to adapt and apply non-violence unto one's life.That will/may change the world by and by.if you need to attain the divinehood be very aware of your every actions and all its effects and please concern that (I) you should not be the cause for any violence.

Ahimsa is the essential quality to conquer the spiritual world.it is the enterance ticket/pass to enter the world of yoga . As per patanjali the gaint of yoga anyone from any backround (Like caste,race,religions,nations...Etc.) can attain the ultimate of self-realization by simply adapting this patanjali yoga sutras and appling it by a keen regular practice in one's life.
