Do not cause pain for any creature
The science of the human is achieving oneness with the Cosmic One. Most seek heaven through good deeds, meaning not to torture any creature. All life consumes life; the snake eats the frog, the frog eats the fly. This is jīva jīva bhakṣate. Existence began from space and consciousness, between which a balance emerged. This resonant balance is Śiva. From resonance came sound, from sound came light, and from light came vibration, leading to the duality of Śiva and Śakti. The five elements constitute our sheaths, and upon separation, these elements return to themselves; nothing dies but changes form. The human duty is ahiṃsā, non-violence, the highest principle to return to the cosmic self. The body contains chakras connecting to earth, plants, and animals. The human consciousness begins at the root, the mūlādhāra. The soul is not singular; each cell has life, yet all together form one complete Ātmā. This soul enters through the navel. True yoga is the science of sound and resonance within, not merely physical postures. Chanting OM correctly involves the whole being, from the navel to the crown.
"Jīva jīva bhakṣate. This one creature is killing and eating others."
"Ahimsā paramo dharma. Non-violence is the highest principle to come to the cosmic self."
