Absolute Non- Violence?

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam! It's been a while since I’ve written to the

list, but I have enjoyed learning from you all. I too

have just recently received my spiritual name, it is

Siri Gian Singh (lion of great knowledge and wisdom).

And as seems to be common, it came when it was least

expected. However, I do have a question for everyone,

which I have been pondering. Is it right to kill a

man, if in turn a 10, 100 men, or even one other man

will be saved? Or...Should one practice Ahimsa

(non-violence) to its fullest extent. Should one

stand aside as a man kills another man...knowing that

this man will suffer the karma for his action, and

that the soul of the dead man’s body is untouchable

and will be reborn? Say the man wasn’t killed but

injured instead, shouldn’t one attempt to prevent his

injury? (first with non-violence, but if all else

fails, by means of violence itself?) I thank you for

any ideas you may have on this subject.
