AHIMSA PRATISHTHAYAM TAT SANIDHYAU VAIR TYAGAH
WHEN NONVIOLENCE IS PERFECTLY ESTABLISHED (YOGI) HAS POWER TO GET RID
OF ANIMOSITY IN (ANYONE) THAT COME IN HIS CONTACT
We were told to cultivate the nonviolence in our mind and action ,and think positively . So now for next 11 Sutras we are told the FRUITS that will be seen when one has perfected various YAMAS. So this one tells us that we or Yogi has no violent thoughts, never and under any circumstances ,he has power to get rid of any animosity that anyone may have . Here when it is stated 'anyone' it means any human being or animal.
This meaning must be carefully understood as it could be misconstrued. One condition to achieve this power or get the fruit of following the 'nonviolence' to perfection, is that THE NONVIOLENCE MUST BE BE 100%.One should have no thought even under any condition ,certainly no violent action. When we see someone or here about some news , we react to it . Let me give an example. We know about a serial killer . Then some one tells us that the jury gave him life sentence or capital punishment. Ordinarily one will have reaction . And it will be 'he got what he deserved !'But that is not nonviolence . When the reaction is I wished he was in counselled in early stages or had better childhood or was in contact with great sage and this violence would have never occurred. So under any condition , no matter how much justified by common man or society,the Yogi or someone who has perfected the art of nonviolence, he will never have any thought of hurting anyone.(let alone hurting physically and no matter how much he deserves according to our society.)
When we come in contact with such a person , our violent thoughts will disappear. Even the cruel animals will not act violent.
(NOTE- I know this sounds to be too good , only because we have not come across ANYONE who has achieved this level of NONVIOLENCE )
