Description
<p>This episode is from Nicolai Bachman's The Path of the Yoga Sutras. The first limb of the Eight-Limb Path of Yoga as explained in the Sutras are the Yama-s (ethical observances). The Yama-s are further broken down into five categories, one of which is Ahimsa (nonviolence, compassion, non-harming). </p> <p>"It requires more courage to be nonviolent than to condone or participate in violence. "---Bachman. </p> <p>"To slight a single human being is to slight the divine powers within us, and thus harm not only that being but with him the whole world."---Gandhi. </p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/awakenbliss/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/awakenbliss/support</a>
