Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 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. Siri Gian Singh Make a great connection at Personals. http://personals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
