Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 Dear All, 1. "Ahimsa, Dwesha, hatred, et.etc." I was explaining to my son (10years) about ahimsa and all the good qualities a human should have and the bad qualities like hatred, etc. one should avoid. He asked me a question: a. If a wild animal or snake comes in front of me then should I not kill that animal? If I kill then am I against ahimsa dharma? WIll God punish me for that? If I don't kill then I will be killed. Will God accept me for my foolish act? b. When we spray Bagygon, etc. many ants, small insects die. Does this act not against the dharma (adwesha)? If we are to protect ourselves from this, then are we not being selfish? 2. I was telling the dasavatharam stories. In that Vamana avatharam Lord comes as a short man asking for 3 feet land but after getting the dhanam he becomes big and got the two logams and kept the last feet on mahabali's head. Is God not cheating his bhakta? I am sorry to put these unusual questions here but can anyone explain me how to handle this situation and how I can answer my son? raji sridhar Get email at your own domain with Mail. http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
